When you read hoodia product rankings online, buyer beware!

A lot of these so-called product rankings are just thinly veiled covers for hoodia gordoni sellers.

Every single one of these hoodia gordini sellers is going to naturally claim their product is the best on the market and they will do so under a shroud of "credibility" by posing as consumer advocates.

On the same level, many other websites tout hoodia product rankings, but these are often just ill-disguised attempts by affiliate marketers to push the product they happen to represent.

Not that there's anything wrong with either selling hoodia gordoni or being an affiliate for a hoodia product.

But at the very least, reasons should be given at such websites why one product is chosen over another.

In such cases, consumers can then be left to make their own informed decision if they agree with the opinions stated or not.

Another deplorable practice is those hoodia gordoni sellers who try to claim their products are more effective for weight loss than others on the market.

The fact of the matter is that only Phytopharm pharmaceuticals can even claim their hoodia extract is proven for weight loss because they are the only company who has undergone clinical studies in this regard.

For example, you'll often see hoodia product rankings by sellers of hoodia gels or liquids or patches claiming their products are superior to tablets or capsules for weight loss.

They will give all sorts of theoretical reasons, but don't present a real shred of proof....simply because they have none.

These kinds of claims are probably even illegal.

Another scam to be aware of from hoodia sellers is those who claim their products contain pure or 100% hoodia. These claims can be very deceptive because there are over a dozen types of hoodia plant, but only the hoodia gordoni species contains the appetite reducing active ingredient.

Such companies can stay within the confines of the law by not technically lying, but there's little doubt their claims are morally reprehensible.

Hoodia gordoni is a fascinating plant to be sure, and it may be one of the most legitimate weight loss agents to come around in a long time, but such positive news always comes with its share of pitfalls.

The safest bet for would be consumers of hoodia is to wait for Phytopharm and Unilever to release their line of products in a couple of years -- or buy only products that come from hoodia c.i.t.e.s. certificate sellers.
