There are indications that Hoodia may cause liver damage. By having Hoodia pills alone, you will not lose weight permanently and may suffer from side effects, since your body still needs proteins and vitamins for daily activities. If you are constantly hungry and eating a lot, hoodia will reduce your appetite. More information on hoodia available at http://www.toloseweight.org/hoodia.html

Hoodia is a type of cactus. You are supposed to take the capsules about an hour before eating with a full glass of water. Then, when you eat your meal, you are supposed to not feel like eating as much.
Yes, it does reduce food cravings, and it has been used for hundreds of years by certain tribal groups, so it is safe. There is no record of any of these tribes having problems with liver damage.
I don't know anything about hoodia pops though.
