Does hoodia do anything at all

[bigbobby]

I know hoodia isn't as good as all the hype says, but does it do anything at all, or is it completely a scam?

I think hoodia was just a fad. THat ingredient came at a rush because of Dr Oz and how much he loves promising ingerdients work when they don't. Then more and more people tried it and found out that yup, it doens't work. So it's been replaced by the next fad.
