Has anyone heard much about hoodia? It is a cactus plant in south africa that people have eaten for years to stave off hunger on long hunting trips. It is now available in pill or liquid form and the pure hoodia is somewhat expensive. But 60 minutes went to south africa and doctors and lab have researched it (and still are researching it). So far they've found it has worked to suppress appetite and hasn't had any known side effects to date. The people who tested it dropped their calorie intake by 1000 per day.

Edit (a research firm tests different brands and stuff) good info!


Edit(i've thought about trying this stuff. The 60 minutes reports and several news reports are here also)

wondered if anyone had heard much about it or know anyone who has tried it?
