Losing weight is easy when you're no longer hungry: scientists search for the biochemical keys

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor

Here's some interesting research into the chemical mechanisms of human appetite. The goal, of course, is to learn secrets that might lead to a biochemical treatment that could turn off hunger (appetite) and therefore cause people to lose weight without suffering through bouts of hunger. It's useful research, no doubt, and I applaud the curiosity, but there's already a solution to weight control that works by turning off the appetite: hoodia gordonii.

"Hoodia," as it is known, is a succulent native to South Africa. People who eat hoodia automatically eat less because their appetites are gently and naturally suppressed. In fact, one pharmaceutical company (at least) is already taking a hard look at hoodia as contender for a prescription drug to treat obesity.

To read my full investigation into hoodia, visit the Consumer Wellness Research Center, which offers a free report on the merits and sources of hoodia.
