Nemum

It never fails, I always seem to catch on to trends well after they have established themselves and gained a solid foothold in our society.  I didn’t pick up on Lost until season 3 for just one example among many.  I surf the Internet hearing about things in my periphery until the noise is just too great that I have to stop and take notice of whatever is shouting at me.  Such is the case with the latest in appetite suppressants, Hoodia Gordonii Plus. 

The background on this stuff is that it is a natural succulent plant that the Bushmen have been eating in Africa for generations.  They take it when going on extended hunting trips for just this purpose.  Much media attention has been given to the plant since 2003 including a segment on the television show 60 Minutes.  Most natural health product websites offer it in some form, but its effectiveness appears to be mostly anecdotal with any decisive clinical evidence apparently lacking.  While a magic bullet would be a dream come true for people like me who struggle with their weight, for the time being proper diet and exercise continues to be the only sure thing.
