Hoodia 60 MinutesThe supplement Hoodia was featured on 60 Minutes in November of 2004. Newswoman, Leslie Stahl, traveled to the Kalahari Desert to investigate first hand what the real facts were about this newly advertised appetite suppressant natural product. Ms. Stahl deduced after eating a small amount of the plant that it really worked. It had suppressed her appetite rather quickly. She found herself neither hungry nor thirsty for the rest of the day. Since airing this report there appears to be some misrepresentation in advertisements made by the manufacturer of Hoodia. Some online sites are suggesting that 60 Minutes is endorsing this product but 60 Minutes says they are not. The manufacturer is misleading consumers by posting the show's title '60 Minutes', which lends credibility to their product. Hoodia 60 Minutes - Does this Really Work?Featuring Hoodia 60 minutes was not promoting or giving this supplement their stamp of approval. 60 minutes was investigating the possible usefulness and benefits of this product. Ms. Stahl went to the place where the use of Hoodia began thousands of years ago. Leslie Stahl went deep into the Kalahari Desert and spoke with the tribesmen about their use of Hoodia. It was discovered that Hoodia was used during these tribesmen’s long hunting expeditions. The men would experience food and water deprivation on these long treks. Chewing on Hoodia was able to give these men the stamina to make their journeys. The tribesmen were no longer focused on their hunger or thirst when eating Hoodia. Hoodia 60 Minutes - Information Only!Leslie Stahl from Hoodia 60 minutes did not interview the Kalahari tribesmen as part of an endorsement seeking program. This segment was purely for informational and fact finding purposes. When looking online for Hoodia please remember that 60 minutes is not promoting this product. Although the segment was interesting Hoodia did not get the stamp of approval from 60 minutes.
