Hoodia weight loss pills reduce weight - in case of rats!

The pills known as Hoodia weight loss pills are manufactured from the extract of Hoodia gordoni, flowering cactus-like plants from Namibia. The plant has caught the researchers' attention in the late 70s when it was thought that the extract from the plant could serve as an effective appetite suppressant.

The first trials gave promising effects, suggesting that Hoodia might really work. The problem is that so far the tests have been performed only on rats. What's more, even those researchers who worked on rats were unsure whether the effects were good enough to even start human tests.

To sum this all up: Hoodia weight loss pills' major ingredient has never been tested on humans and the tests on rats were promising, but not decisively so. If you take Hoodia weight loss pills, remember that there is no telling what will happen, both in long and short term. The manufacturers don't know that, the researchers don't know that - so you don't know that for sure, too.

Among things we do not know about Hoodia there are such "details" as:

• the power of the pills - i.e. the right dosage and the final effects,
• the side effects - the drug gives hard times to the liver, but we do not know how hard,
• the interactions - there were no real tests about interactions between Hoodia and other drugs, what you can read about it is "the best guess" at most.

Considering all above it is not surprising that FDA does not approve the pills (and is not going to do so anytime soon). What is more, several Hoodia pills manufacturers have already been sued for misleading the customers. All you can get from Hoodia pills now is the risk of the liver cancer and a bunch of promises from the label. Remember that if there have been no tests on humans, it is you who will be the real test subject - whether you want it or not.
