Full Version: Hoodia
Isn't this the stuff Oprah said she had success with??
havent tried it.....here are 2 relative wikis on it
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P57

The main Hoodia article states that the FDA says that the claims of diet benefits are unsubstantiated.
Pfizer apparently was working on it as an appetite suppressant but has since released its rights to p-57, the main ingrediant, stating that not only was it not feasable to remove other aspects that would contribute to liver problems. The lab studies done on rats showed that it was effective when directly injected into the brains of rats but in real world human oral consumption(I just said oral consumption, LOL)the liver may break down the product at a rate that is prohibtive of gaining an effect.
Most of the hype has been perpetuated by spam ads and studies have shown that about half of the marketed products dont even contain the active ingredient.
sounds like crap to me
If I were knowingly going to take something bad for me, Id stick to Ephedrine
