Is Hoodia Good For Weight Loss Or Just Money Loss?
 By Max Allen I'm guessing you are looking for the answer . . . Correct? First off, did you know that billions of dollars are spent yearly on this reputed "miracle" diet pill? The manufacturers have produced enough hype to make you believe that Hoodia is the miracle cure for obesity and imperative weight loss. Wouldn't it be great if it was as easy as that to lose weight? Let's probe past the marketing hype to see if these claims have any merit. There are all sorts of advertisements on the radio and internet ads indicating many miraculous claims of Hoodia success! I'm bringing up the subject and it's authenticity to be sure my readers don't fall for this scam and waste their hard earned dollars in the process. Before you get all upset, let me say that not all companies that sell Hoodia are dishonest. Some of these are legal and genuine and are really selling the real Hoodia. Unfortunately, because of the scarcity of federal regulations on nutritional supplements, it is very easy for questionable smaller companies to sell 'blank' pills that don't have any Hoodia in them at all. Please notice that I'm not saying anything on the subject of whether Hoodia (the real stuff) really does work or not for long-lasting weight loss. Of course the Hoodia ads make it sound so fantastic . . . with no exercise required, knock down a couple of pills while watching TV and the fat will start melting away. Yea, right! I don't think so. Let's be clear on this one point . . . Quick fixes will NEVER work, and they NEVER will. Remember the great Fen-Fen, the so called easy way to weight loss? If there is ever a miracle pill for weight loss there will always be an adverse side effect somewhere down the road. The body is governed by the laws of nature. It is really sad how many people are taken in by the Hoodia hoopla and end up blowing $50 or $100 and not seeing any loss of weight that they thought would happen. They were scammed again! It may surprise you that an extensive percentage of what is designated and sold as Hoodia might not even have any Hoodia at all inside those pills. A lot of what's being sold is fake. The reason is that ever since the Dietary Supplement and Health Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994, there is no regulation or testing to ensure that what their label claims is actually in the bottle! Even if they did put real Hoodia extract in the capsules, there is no scientific proof at this moment that the small doses that they put in the capsules will actually cause any type of weight loss in people. The problem is that the supplement industry is NOT federally regulated in the US, and any scammer can put whatever they want in a capsule and market it for enormous profits.
