Advanced-Diets.Com Has Found Real Hoodia Diet Powder.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 9, 2005 --

On Sunday, November 21, CBS News� top-rated news magazine 60 Minutes aired a segment on hoodia, the increasingly popular succulent plant from Namibia in southwestern Africa that is being touted for its ability to suppress appetite. Hoodia was formerly in the news a few years ago when reports were aired, prematurely, that the pharmaceutical giant Pfizer was then planning on introducing a new diet drug made from the plant. 60 Minutes interviewed a representative from PhytoPharm, a UK-based research company that holds a patent on the use of a special hoodia extract for weightloss. Pfizer has since abandoned its plans to market such a drug. However, the publicity on hoodia fueled its market interest and many importers have introduced products that claim to contain �hoodia�. The 60 Minutes segment covered issues of biopiracy and royalty payments to the indigenous Kalahari Bushmen who have used hoodia, known locally as xhoba, for centuries or millennia. Hoodia is derived from Hoodia gordonii (Masson) Sweet ex Decne. of the dogbane family (Apocynaceae), a succulent plant that grows primarily in Namibia as well as in northwestern parts of South Africa. Information on the 60 Minutes broadcast is available at http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/11/18/60minutes/main656458.shtml.

A Company called Advanced Diet Formulas, based in the UK, with offices in LA and manufacturing in New York selling Internationally have prepared several diet formulas using Hoodia Powder, to include Hoodia Chewing Gum over the past 4 years. Results have proven that Hoodia based dietary products work better than any other herbal diet on the market today.

The finding of Hoodia has lead to many people for the first time able to loose weight and others to start up in business selling Hoodia products on the Net, party plan and in stores etc. The best retailers of these products are the users them selves, as they are so confident based on there own success.

As the new diet season has started and many millions of people from all over the world will start a diet in 2005, some resellers for Advanced Diets products have chosen to give part of the profits to the Tsunami Disaster. A well know monthly magazine has taken a editorial from a reseller with the intention of publishing an article about the power of Hoodia Diet Pills. Firstly the editor of this magazine has tested the product for herself and will add her own findings.

Sales made from this article will result in a percentage of profits being donated via the magazine to the Tsunami Disaster, which could amount to a lot of money, so we wish them every success.
