The Hoodia That Is Use In the Apple Patch Diet Is In the News!

CBS 60 Minutes:

“When we located the plant, Kruiper cut off a stalk that looked like a small spiky pickle, and removed the sharp spines. In the interest of science, Stahl ate it. She described the taste as “a little cucumbery in texture, but not bad.” So how did it work? Stahl says she had no after effects – no funny taste in her mouth, no queasy stomach, and no racing heart. She also wasn’t hungry all day, even when she would normally have a pang around mealtime. And, she also had no desire to eat or drink the entire day. “I’d have to say it did work,” said Stahl.

NBC Today Show:

It’s the look everyone wants — a body to diet for. They’re on the beaches, in magazines and all over Hollywood. How far will we go to get one? How about thousands of miles and deep into a distant culture? South Africa’s Kalahari Desert is home to what could be the answer to an appetite. It’s a cactus called hoodia. “You strip off the skin, you strip off the spines, and then you consume it,” says weight loss expert Madelyn Fernstrom.

(Talking about hoodia) “Deep in the heart of Southern Africa’s Kalahari Desert may lie the secret to weight loss.”

ABC-7 Los Angeles:

“South African San Bushmen who live in the Kalahari dessert drink hoodia cactus juice to survive wheLn food is not available. Now manufacturers are harvesting the cactus’ appetite-suppressing properties. Studies done by the manufacturer show hoodia pills don’t cause the typical side effects of other diet drugs such as jitteriness.”
