Hoodia, Weight Loss Scam!


Today Let's talk about Hoodia, another diet weight loss scam that has duped many into believing it is a solution to their weight loss problem!

Here are the facts!

Hoodia is a compound that is extracted from a type of succulent plant from Africa called hoodia gordonii. For centuries, Africans have chewed this plant on long journeys, claiming it helps suppress the appetite in order to keep them from needing to consume a lot of food while traveling long distances.

Because of this lore, marketing companies decided they would try extracting the compound from the plant and selling it. Supposedly, the compound can be a powerful appetite suppressant. Unfortunately, there is very little evidence to support these claims.

Like acai berry, sellers of hoodia will often tack on additional charges or enrol buyers in continuity programs where they are billed every month automatically for additional shipments. Often, users don’t even know they’ve been enrolled until they see the large charge on their credit card bill or bank statement.

Since there is no scientific evidence to back up the claims being made by hoodia sellers, I would avoid buying it. It’s very likely a major waste of money, and you don’t want to risk being enrolled in a monthly program without your consent.



Make it a great day!
