HOODIA???

We see hoodia gordonii for sale in various forms by various vendors,
pure, extract, concentrated, etc. and in combination with other things
-- with amazing claims. However, we don't want to experiment unless
there are footsteps to walk in.

Is there a valid peer-reviewed study demonstrating the efficacy/safety
of any commercial hoodia preparation as an appetite suppressant?

Does anyone here have anecdotal evidence supporting the use of this stuff?


Thanks,

Og
