| Anecdotal reports, as
well as the limited "clinical" trials, suggest the Hoodia gordonii
does not cause jitteriness, palpitations, insomnia or other adverse
effects that are commonly reported with other weight-loss aids.

that Hoodia gordonii not only suppresses appetite, but also
suppresses thirst
- The suppression of
thirst can lead to dehydration, which can potentially lead to
dangerous medical complications
- If choosing to use
Hoodia gordonii, make sure to drink enough liquids!
People with Diabetes
Mellitus should use caution
- Some researchers have
proposed that Hoodia gordonii may "trick" the brain into thinking
that it has enough glucose, which could potentially lead to
hypoglycemia
