The Supposed Hoodia Oprah Connection Exposed

If you've shopped around for hoodia online you've likely read about the supposed hoodia Oprah connection. You've probably seen claims that Oprah Winfrey endorses hoodia or that she uses it herself to reach her weight loss goals. You may have even seen such bold claims that Oprah endorses a specific hoodia product. You'll be surprised to learn that there may not be any truth behind the hoodia Oprah connection.

I have not been able to prove there is a hoodia Oprah connection. I have been to Oprah's website and searched for "hoodia Oprah", as well as just plain "hoodia," and no results were found for either. I have never read anything that proves Oprah has used hoodia, or that she has featured it on her show. Until I find evidence that tells me different, I don't believe that there is a hoodia Oprah connection.

Many of the websites that are using Oprah's name point to an article that ran in Oprah's magazine July 2005 issue. The article they reference from O is titled, "Diet Pills: The Next Generation." I wanted to read this article, but was unable to find an archive copy of it. So, I went on eBay and purchased the magazine. I wanted to read for myself what exactly Oprah "said" about the weight loss supplement. I was surprised at what I found.

At first, the picture that accompanied the article made me think that there possibly could be a hoodia Oprah connection. The picture was of a San tribe member and I immediately recognized a piece of the hoodia gordonii plant that he was holding. But, after reading the entire text of the article, I can firmly say there is no hoodia Oprah connection in it. There were no statements by Oprah in the article and the article itself was written by someone else.

The first two paragraphs of the article discussed the history of the plant and its popularity in the weight loss industry. Yet, the article in O didn't speak very favorably of hoodia weight loss supplements and said, "So far, however, there's little proof that the supplements are even mildly effective: Most contain only small, probably insignificant levels of Hoodia extract" If anything, if I didn't know better, this article would make me doubt the benefits of hoodia gordonii supplements, though no brand was mentioned.

The article goes on to inform the reader that pharmaceutical firms are still trying to come up with the latest and greatest weight loss supplement. Beyond the first two paragraphs, there is no mention of hoodia at all. As far as Oprah's magazine is concerned, there is no hoodia Oprah connection.

It surprises me that Oprah hasn't started legal proceedings against the websites that use her name, and the name of her magazine, to endorse their hoodia products. I'm sure it is only a matter of time before Oprah's legal department takes action against these websites. The truth is Oprah has not endorsed hoodia, and there is no hoodia Oprah connection.
