NOW without expensive  surgery!&lt;/p&gt;
					&lt;p&gt;The greatest benefit of &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.zoft-hoodia-gum.com/"&gt;Zoft Hoodia  
Gum&lt;/a&gt; is a reduced  appetite 
in just a few minutes – naturally and without a prescription. This  
innovative gum is superior to a pill because it is absorbed into the  
bloodstream immediately to give the powerful results you want!&lt;/p&gt;
					&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In addition Zoft Hoodia Gum:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt; Helps fight  tooth decay and cleans teeth after meals&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Provides a  no-calorie snack&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Improves  concentration&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Relaxes and  eases tension&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Freshens breath&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Improves  digestion&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
					&lt;p&gt;That’s right, chewing Zoft gum can prevent tooth decay by up  to
 40% while moistening your mouth. Previous studies have shown that 
chewing  sugarless gum after meals can help prevent cavities by lowering
 acid and sugar  levels in the mouth. &lt;/p&gt;
					&lt;p&gt;The U.S. Armed Forces have supplied soldiers with chewing  gum 
since World War I because it helps both to improve the soldiers'  
concentration and to relieve stress. Recent studies show chewing gum can
 also  improve one's mood.&lt;/p&gt;
					&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Studies show chewing gum improves digestive health!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
					&lt;p&gt;Chewing gum after meals not only freshen your breath, but  may 
help fight acid reflux and heartburn symptoms. A new study shows chewing
  gum after a big meal can reduce acid levels in the esophagus and may 
aid in  preventing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).&lt;/p&gt;
					&lt;p&gt;Zoft Hoodia Gum is a breakthrough all-natural gum that aids  the
 effort to lose weight simply by reducing your desire for food and  
snacks.&amp;nbsp; Reduced appetite equals reduced  calories equals reduced 
weight. The addition of exercise will accelerate your  weight loss. Just
 a little bit of exercise together with the help from Zoft  Hoodia Gum 
provides a very simple and effective way to lose weight.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Hoodia will curb your appetite almost immediately, after  
taking only a few milligrams&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Hoodia will give you control over your appetite—it’s the  
most effective natural appetite suppressant ever found &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Hoodia will make you feel great—it’s a natural mood  enhancer
 &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Hoodia will help you to lose weight by not over eating &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Hoodia is 100% natural with proven results that will work  
for you&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;li&gt;Hoodia will not give you the shakes like so 
many other  appetite suppressants &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Hoodia will not make your heart race and will not keep you  
awake all night long &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Hoodia will definitely not give you that “wired” feeling  
like so many other appetite suppressants &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Hoodia will not raise your body temperature so you’ll be 
comfortable  all day &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Hoodia is so safe that it is classified as a dietary  
supplement, not a medicine. It works gently on your system—so gently 
that you  will hardly notice a difference, except that you don't feel 
hungry!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
					&lt;p&gt;100% natural ingredients means NO harsh side-effects. NO  need 
for dangerous, intrusive, and expensive surgery.&amp;nbsp; Now YOU can lose 
weight the safe and easy way  with New Zoft Hoodia Gum.&amp;nbsp; &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.zoft-hoodia-gum.com/ingredients.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GET YOURS  NOW!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
					&lt;p&gt;Researchers say chewing gum can effectively stimulate saliva  
flow. Researcher Rebecca Moazzez, of Kings College in London, UK, and  
colleagues say the results show chewing gum for 30 minutes after a 
potentially  troublesome fatty meal can reduce acid exposure in the 
esophagus and help reduce  heartburn symptoms (SOURCE: Digestive Disease
 Week, May 17-22, 2003).&lt;/p&gt;
					&lt;p&gt;Here’s an additional suggestion. Chew Zoft Hoodia Gum the  next 
time you’re on a plane to counteract the effect of air pressure changes 
on  your ears.&lt;/p&gt;
					&lt;p&gt;With Zoft Hoodia Gum you have absolutely nothing to lose  except
 weight. In fact, we're so confident you will be delighted with the  
results that we offer a 100-day money-back guarantee.&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.zoft-hoodia-gum.com/order.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Order your supply  today!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
					&lt;p&gt;You may have gained weight recently due to a change in  
lifestyle, a job that keeps you behind a desk all day, or perhaps you’ve
 had a  baby. Maybe your health hasn’t let you stay active or an injury 
has kept you  from staying as trim as you once were. Maybe you’ve been 
struggling with weight  for years.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
					&lt;p&gt;No matter what your situation, Zoft Hoodia Gum gives you a

A group of prescription heart medications works in a similar way, although much more powerfully. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.gethoodiagum.com/images/ingredient_hoodia.gif" align="right" hspace="10"&gt;Also called xhooba, khoba, ghaap, hoodia cactus, and South African desert cactus, hoodia is found in the semi-desert regions of South Africa, Botswana, Nambia, and Angola. It grows in clumps of green upright stems and is actually a succulent, not a cactus. This strangely shaped little plant has many relatives throughout the desert, but only one variety, &lt;em&gt;Hoodia gordonii&lt;/em&gt;, is known to have an effect on appetite and weight loss. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It takes about 5 years before hoodia’s pale purple flowers appear and the cactus can be harvested. Although there are 20 types of hoodia, only the &lt;em&gt;Hoodia gordonii &lt;/em&gt;variety is believed to contain the natural appetite suppressant.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hoodia gordonii&lt;/em&gt; is the botanical name for a leafless, spiky succulent plant that grows throughout the semi-arid areas of Southern Africa, primarily the Kalahari Desert. The local inhabitants, the San Bushmen, have used hoodia stems for thousands of years to stave off hunger and thirst during long journeys because it acts as an appetite suppressant.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although hoodia was “discovered” relatively recently, the San Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert have been eating it for a very long time. The Bushmen, who live off the land, would cut off part of the hoodia stem and eat it to ward off hunger and thirst during nomadic hunting trips. They would consume the raw plant over long desert journeys, allowing them to eat and drink almost nothing for hours and days at a time. They also used hoodia for severe abdominal cramps, hemorrhoids, tuberculosis, indigestion, hypertension and diabetes. For generations, only the San Bushmen knew of hoodia’s remarkable properties.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In 1937, a Dutch anthropologist studying the San Bushmen noted their use of hoodia to suppress appetite, but it wasn’t until 1963 that scientists at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), South Africa’s national laboratory, began studying hoodia. Initial results were promising–lab animals lost weight after taking hoodia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After years of careful research, the South African scientists, working with the British company Phytopharm, isolated the active ingredient in hoodia: a steroidal glycoside, which they named P57. P57 is the compound in this all-natural food that is responsible for dramatic weight loss. Not only has it been proven completely safe, it contains no stimulants that can contribute to the jittery feeling associated with weight loss products from the last decade.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hoodia has been studied scientifically for over 30 years. After obtaining a patent in 1995, P57 was licensed to Phytopharm. Phytopharm has spent more than $20 million on hoodia research.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hoodia is registered as a protected species to prevent bio-piracy, but it is allowed to be grown on a handful of commercial farms in South Africa. Although hoodia takes 5-6 years to mature in the wild, it is now being cultivated commercially in sustainable quantities in as little as 2 years.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hoodia is the botanical that’s causing a stir for its ability to suppress appetite and promote weight loss. It has become widely known for its effects as an appetite suppressant.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hoodia is the world’s most effective weight loss supplement. &lt;a href="http://www.zoft-hoodia-gum.com/order.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Get your supply of Zoft Hoodia Gum today!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Visit our sister sites!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.zoft-gum.com/"&gt;www.zoft-gum.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.zoft-breast-gum.com/"&gt;www.zoft-breast-gum.com&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(CBS)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Each year, people spend more than $40 billion on products designed to help them slim down. None of them seem to be working very well. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Now along comes hoodia. Never heard of it? Soon it'll be tripping off your tongue, because hoodia is a natural substance that literally takes your appetite away. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It's very different from diet stimulants like Ephedra and Phenfen that are now banned because of dangerous side effects. Hoodia doesn't stimulate at all. Scientists say it fools the brain by making you think you’re full, even if you've eaten just a morsel. &lt;strong&gt;Correspondent Lesley Stahl&lt;/strong&gt; reports. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr width="50%"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hoodia is a bitter-tasting cactus-like plant. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;60 Minutes&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; was told that if it wanted to try hoodia, it would have to go to Africa. Why? Because the only place in the world where hoodia grows wild is in the Kalahari Desert of South Africa. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Nigel Crawhall, a linguist and interpreter, hired an experienced tracker named Toppies Kruiper, a local aboriginal Bushman, to help find it. The Bushmen were featured in the movie “The Gods Must Be Crazy.” &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Kruiper led &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;60 Minutes&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; crews out into the desert. Stahl asked him if he ate hoodia. "I really like to eat them when the new rains have come," says Kruiper, speaking through the interpreter. "Then they're really quite delicious." &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;When we located the plant, Kruiper cut off a stalk that looked like a small spiky pickle, and removed the sharp spines. In the interest of science, Stahl ate it. She described the taste as "a little cucumbery in texture, but not bad." &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So how did it work? Stahl says she had no after effects – no funny taste in her mouth, no queasy stomach, and no racing heart. She also wasn't hungry all day, even when she would normally have a pang around mealtime. And, she also had no desire to eat or drink the entire day. "I'd have to say it did work," says Stahl. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Although the West is just discovering hoodia, the Bushmen of the Kalahari have been eating it for a very long time. After all, they have been living off the land in southern Africa for more than 100,000 years. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Some of the Bushmen, like Anna Swartz, still live in old traditional huts, and cook so-called Bush food gathered from the desert the old-fashioned way. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The first scientific investigation of the plant was conducted at South Africa’s national laboratory. Because Bushmen were known to eat hoodia, it was included in a study of indigenous foods. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"What they found was when they fed it to animals, the animals ate it and lost weight," says Dr. Richard Dixey, who heads an English pharmaceutical company called Phytopharm that is trying to develop weight-loss products based on hoodia. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Was hoodia's potential application as an appetite suppressant immediately obvious? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"No, it took them a long time. In fact, the original research was done in the mid 1960s," says Dixey. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;...see the entire article at: &lt;a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/11/18/60minutes/main656458.shtml"&gt;http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/11/18/60minutes/main656458.shtml&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Where can I purchase Hoodia?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Hoodia is now being produced for consumption as an amazing new product branded "Zoft" Hoodia Gum.&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.zoft-hoodia-gum.com/"&gt;http://www.zoft-hoodia-gum.com/&lt;/a&gt; will begin shipments of hoodia chewing gum in February '07.&amp;nbsp; In the meantime, visit &lt;a href="http://zoft-gum.com/"&gt;http://zoft-gum.com/&lt;/a&gt; to learn more about zoft-hoodia-gum and the other amazing gum products such as &lt;a href="http://zoft-breast-gum/"&gt;http://zoft-breast-gum/&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; "Zoft" Breast Enhancement Gum is currently shipping worldwide and is taking the nation by storm.&amp;nbsp; This product promises to be the Internets #1 gum supplement for larger, firmer more beautiful breasts.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Take the word of ABC, CBS and numerous credentialed sources touting the benefits of hoodia!&lt;a class="" href="http://www.zoft-hoodia-gum.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><category>Press Release</category><comments>http://blog.zoft-hoodia-gum.com/2007/02/05/cbs-reports-on-hoodia.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">2b857169-048c-4f03-82b9-7a721f6f68b1</guid><pubDate>Wed, 20 Jan 2010 21:35:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>How zoft-hoodia-gum really works!</title><link>http://blog.zoft-hoodia-gum.com/2007/02/02/how-zofthoodiagum-really-works.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>Zoft Hoodia Gum</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here’s WHY &lt;a href="http://www.zoft-hoodia-gum.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Zoft Hoodia Gum&lt;/a&gt; is YOUR most effective weight loss strategy!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.gethoodiagum.com/images/hypothalamus.gif" width="175" align="right" height="135" hspace="10"&gt;Hoodia works by releasing a chemical compound that is similar to glucose, but is up to 100,000 times more powerful. This compound signals the hypothalamus that enough food has been consumed and this, in turn, stunts the appetite.&amp;nbsp; This pure organic hoodia, contains a miracle molecule that, in effect, fools the brain into believing you are full, and even stops you from thinking about food.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Each piece of gum contains a revolutionary sustained release system that orally delivers the 120-mg of pure hoodia that is absorbed directly into the bloodstream. This delivery system relies on micro-sized beads that are released by chewing the gum and are immediately absorbed into the tissue of the lining in the mouth through the capillaries that lie close to the surface. This process allows the supplement to be absorbed within seconds and bypasses the solubility and absorption problems that accompany traditional nutritional supplements.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Oral absorption is up to 90 percent effective, allowing your body to utilize all the necessary nutrients. Unlike dietary supplements taken in pill form once a day, chewing the gum constantly bombards your system, curbing your appetite, boosting your energy, and keeping your breath fresh at the same time. You can enjoy the taste and reap the benefits of the Zoft Hoodia Gum throughout the day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Conventional capsule or tablet based supplements normally are taken with water and must pass through the digestive system. This method delivers a larger amount of supplement than the body can handle at one time, so the body naturally eliminates a significant portion of it. Zoft Hoodia Gum is ingested without water through the membranes of the mouth, so more of the essential supplement is delivered to and retained in your body.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Not only will you reduce your appetite with the Zoft Hoodia Gum… you will receive a host of added benefits. &lt;a class="" href="http://www.zoft-hoodia-gum.com/benefits.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click here to see the added benefits&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a class="" href="http://www.zoft-hoodia-gum.com/order.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;order now!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although Hoodia was “discovered” relatively recently, the San Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert have been eating it for a very long time. The San Bushmen, who live off the land, cut off part of the Hoodia stem and eat it to ward off hunger and thirst during nomadic hunting trips. They also use hoodia for severe abdominal cramps, hemorrhoids, tuberculosis, indigestion, hypertension, and diabetes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tom Mangold, a correspondent from the BBC News, filed the following report after eating hoodia from the Kalahari Desert... &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“At about 18:00 hours I ate about half a banana size (piece of hoodia) - and later so did my cameraman. Soon after, we began the four hour drive back to Capetown. The plant is said to have a feel-good almost aphrodisiac quality, and I have to say, we felt good. But more significantly, we did not even think about food. Our brains really were telling us we were full. It was a magnificent deception. Dinner time came and went. We reached our hotel at about midnight and went to bed without food. And the next day, neither of us wanted nor ate breakfast. I ate lunch but without appetite and very little pleasure. Partial then full appetite returned slowly after 24 hours” (reported on 5/30/03).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For thousands of years the Bushmen of South Africa have eaten hoodia to fight off hunger during long hunting trips.&amp;nbsp; For them, the appetite suppressant power of hoodia is not a question, but simply a way of life.&amp;nbsp; So although the Bushmen did not do formal clinical studies, thousands of years of real world evidence proves that eating hoodia suppresses appetite.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here’s the scientific evidence that hoodia really works as an appetite suppressant!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Researchers at Brown University Medical School performed studies in 2004.&amp;nbsp; In these studies “Zucker rats” were fed hoodia.&amp;nbsp; Zucker rats are special rats that are bred to be obese and diabetic. Amazingly, Zucker rats that were fed hoodia lost weight and even experienced some reversal of their diabetes.&amp;nbsp; Anything that can stop a rat from eating is very significant!

They completed a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study of overweight, but otherwise healthy volunteers using the P57 extract from &lt;em&gt;Hoodia gordonii&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;nbsp; The participants were split into two groups: one received the P57 and the other received a placebo.&amp;nbsp; Each group was told to continue their normal diet and exercise.&amp;nbsp; A comparison of the P57 group to the placebo group yielded the following results:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The P57 group had a statistically significant reduction in caloric intake&lt;br&gt;The P57 group had a statistically significant reduction in body fat&lt;br&gt;The P57 group had no adverse side effects&lt;br&gt;The P57 group ate, on average, about 1,000 calories a day less than the control group.&amp;nbsp; These are very impressive results when you consider that the average American man consumes about 2,600 calories a day and the average American woman consumes about 1,900 calories a day.
