Hoodia And The BBC
Hoodia arrived in the UK in the spring of 2003. Hoodia’s profile and public awareness were raised significantly after BBC correspondent Tom Mangold published a report detailing the history of the San Tribesman of the Kalahari and their relationship with Hoodia Gordonii from both a physical and economic perspective.
The headline that hit home the potential of this plant for the western world was “an organic plant that reduces appetite and tackles obesity.” This message seemed to spiral across the world and firmly promoted Hoodia Gordonii to status of number 1 slimming aid and the most popular and frequently discussed diet pill.
Hoodia Gordonii slimming aids were very much in demand. It remains undisputed that purest Hoodia Gordonni is the most potent natural sliming aid. Hoodia facts here
The BBC article also highlighted the San Bushmens’ potential rise from impoverished tribesman to millionaires. Sadly though it seems that the new found wealth has bypassed the natives as giant corporations such as Pfizer have taken a keen interest and content with squeezing the “Hoodia” name and concept to its very limits.
