Hoodia
Gordonii - The First Trials
By Paul Callis
When
Hoodia was discovered the very first animal trials to
test it was with Rats. The rats that were fed with Hoodia stopped
eating completely. Rats are well know as animals that will eat
anything and everything. Can you believe that an animal who loves to
eat anything simply switched off its desire to eat, even when foods
that rats love were placed in front of them.
When the first clinical human
trial was conducted with
Hoodia, several morbidly
obese people were placed in a unit which was a closed off area were
all that they could do was to read, watch television, interact with
each other, and of course eat. Half the people were given
Hoodia Gordonii to take,
and half were given a placebo. After fifteen days, the group that
had been taking
Hoodia Gordonii had
reduced their calorie intake by 1000 calories a day - despite taking
no exercise and not being on a diet.
This is due to
Hoodia Gordonii having a
molecule which is 10,000 times more powerful than glucose sugar. It
tells your brain that you are full, without having eaten or wanting
to eat. It has effectively been tested in humans for centuries, and
so is likely to have few of the adverse side-effects that are common
with other slimming products.
