San Bushmen's Hoodia Remedy for Obesity

Hoodia plants in bloom at a secret growing site in South Africa. Phytopharm U.K. and South Africa's CSIR are cultivating the cactus - traditionally used by San Bushmen for appetite suppression while on long hunts - to use in trials for a new anti-obesity remedy. The San have signed agreements guaranteeing them percentages of any future profits in return for use of their intellectual property. (Photo by Louise Gubb/Corbis via Getty Images)
