What’s up with all the Hoodia hype?

It seem’s eveywhere you turn these days people are talking about Hoodia Gordonii. I have seen news reports and endless advertisements so there must be something to it.

Hoodia Claimed Effects/Benefits include:

  • Feeling full more quickly
  • A delay in the time after eating before hunger sets in again
  • A general feeling of well being
  • A reduced interest in food.
  • As it will help you reduce calorie intake means it will surely help you in weight loss.

I suppose anything that helps to reduce appetite might provide some help with loosing weight. But I can’t help but wonder if it is yet another fad like Atkins or if it will last.

Who knows but here is an interesting introduction to the history and facts about Hoodia Gordonni: Facts & History

They have been following progress of dieter’s using hoodia on my local news channel and so far the results are very good. Not exactly mega-pounds in one week but very real reasonable weight loss. I would say the conclusion is this stuff really does work.

Beware of Explosive Cartoons

Everyone know’s that terrorists use cartoon characters to carry out attacks.

Danger I.E.D.

Obviously when planting an explosive device the terrorists would always opt to add a neon light to draw as much attention as possible. I’m sure they teach that in anti-terrorist training. Just look for the flashy attention getting device. Why bother hiding it, Boston’s finest are on the ball and found what is obviously a terror plot. I guess Bush will take credit for twarting another terrorist attack. He should visit Boston and give someone a metal. We can all rest easier know we are now safe from all those bad guys over at cartoon network!

Many young Bostonians think city overreacted
‘We’re the laughingstock,’ resident says after cartoon signs prompt scare.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force” cartoon publicity devices, seen around Boston on Wednesday, caused a security scare that shut down bridges and subways.
