Hoodia Gordonii

Shopping for hoodia online can easily make you think that there is a hoodia Oprah connection. Some websites claim that Oprah endorses and uses hoodia. Some go so far as to claim that Oprah uses their brand of hoodia. The truth is I don't believe there is any hoodia Oprah connection.

I have not been able to prove there is a hoodia Oprah connection. I have been to Oprah's website and searched for "hoodia Oprah", as well as just plain "hoodia," and no results were found for either. I have never read anything that proves Oprah has used hoodia, or that she has featured it on her show. Until I find evidence that tells me different, I don't believe that there is a hoodia Oprah connection.

There is a minor hoodia connection, however, in Oprah's magazine, O, that many websites reference as proof that Oprah endorses it. The article all these websites refer to was published in the July 2005 issue of her magazine titled, "Diet Pills: The Next Generation." I wasn't able to find an archive copy of the article anywhere online so I purchased the issue on eBay to find out what exactly Oprah Winfrey supposedly said about hoodia. I was very surprised what I found out.

At first, the picture that accompanied the article made me think that there possibly could be a hoodia Oprah connection. The picture was of a San tribe member and I immediately recognized a piece of the hoodia gordonii plant that he was holding. But, after reading the entire text of the article, I can firmly say there is no hoodia Oprah connection in it. There were no statements by Oprah in the article and the article itself was written by someone else.

The first two paragraphs of the article tell about the history of the plant and how popular hoodia diet pills have become in the marketplace. Personally, I felt the article didn't discuss hoodia supplements favorably. A quote from the article reads, "So far, however, there's little proof that the supplements are even mildly effective: Most contain only small, probably insignificant levels of Hoodia extract" Obviously, this statement portrays hoodia supplements in a negative way and it fails to mention any brands of hoodia by name.

The remaining text of the piece talks about the race between pharmaceutical firms to discover the latest miracle weight loss supplement. There is no mention of hoodia gordonii past the first two paragraphs. As you can see, the magazine does not mention a hoodia Oprah connection, or endorse that Oprah uses the weight loss supplement herself.

With so many websites using Oprah's name to make consumers believe there is a hoodia Oprah connection, there is bound to be some legal actions taken in the future. Oprah's legal department will no doubt come down on these people. They are twisting a small mention of hoodia in an article in Oprah's magazine to make it appear that Oprah herself endorses their brand of hoodia, when in all honesty, that is just not true.
