Two Years After 60 Minutes Launched The Hoodia Industry - Is Authentic Hoodia Actually Available?
By Dan Nessel
Copyright 2006 Advice, LLC
In Nov 2004 Leslie Stahl of CBS News 60 Minutes went to South Africa, ate some and proclaimed “no desire to eat or drink the entire day. I'd have to say it did work” and unintentionally launched a red hot supplement industry.
In case you have a terrific spam filter – here is the 411 on Hoodia. Gordonii is a succulent plant that grows in South Africa. The SAN Bushmen have chewed on for close to 1,000 years to reduce their appetite while on long hunting trips. is now a highly sought after plant for it ability to suppress appetite. In fact, Gordonii is in such high demand it is considered a protected plant and can only be exported with a special permit from the government of South Africa (a CITES permit).
It has now been almost two years since as an appetite suppressant burst onto the diet scene so let’s recap what has happened in the past 2 years.
*A cure for lonely email boxes – Spam!
A plant from South Africa that could suppress appetite and had the endorsement of Leslie Stahl – this was just too much for the spammers to resist. The spammers of the world somehow found time in their busy schedule of spamming about Viagra and casinos to send a few million spams about supplements. If you had been concerned that you just didn’t get enough emails – you can thank the spammers for solving your problems.
* Turns out everyone in world really wants to help the SAN Bushmen
The SAN Bushmen discovered and are supposed to get a percentage of any legitimate sales. If you believe all the websites – everyone is a friend of the Bushmen and paying them handsome royalties. Strange how with all this love and promise of money the SAN Bushmen have seen almost no royalties at all.
* In a breakthrough of science – more has been sold than grown.
Amazingly, more has been sold in supplement form than has ever been grown and exported from South Africa. Every company claims to have authentic pure from South Africa, so the only possible answer is a scientific breakthrough that allows you to have more than actually exist in the world. If they just apply this to food, I guess we could end world hunger.
* is free* (*as long as you are willing to pay $99 a month for the rest of your life).
New sites appear everyday offering a free supply of Hoodia. Of course “free” is a relative term. It turns out it is only free for 5 days, then you are billed $99 every month until you cancel. Don’t worry – canceling is easy – you
just need to call their non-existent phone number and speak to a friendly non-existent customer service rep.
* Over 200 Products have been featured on Oprah, 60 Minutes and The Today Show.
If you believe all the web sites that say “As Seen on Oprah, 60 Minutes and The Today Show” there would be over 200 products featured on those shows. It must make for a long segment when you need to endorse all of those products. Of course, none of those shows have ever recommended any supplement by name, but that is just a minor point.
* Authentic Lab Tested is available
Given the terrible state of the supplement industry it may be most surprising to learn that authentic lab tested Gordonii from South Africa is available and effective. Companies such as Alkemists Labs have developed independent lab tests that can determine if a supplement is authentic or not. Unfortunately, the majority of companies selling do not perform Alkemists lab tests.
So, was Leslie Stahl crazy? Is the whole business a scam? No, not at all you just need to do your research to make sure the you buy is actually lab tested Gordonii from South Africa. Try searching Google for “Alkemists Lab Test” and you will find the few reputable companies that are selling authentic, lab tested, from South Africa.
