I have been asked who the individuals behind this unsubstantiated product is, the individuals who simply ignore the recent ASA ruling and continue to sell these products without any proof that the product works? Who claim that hoodia is absorbed through the skin without any proof, that hoodia results in appetite suppression (and therefore weight loss) without any proof?
They are Jasmine Grindlay – Managing Director and her husband Christopher Grindlay of Llandudno.
Here is an interview with founder of Planet Hoodia Jasmine Grindlay.
Here is an interview with the founder of NoLossOrGain.com, Chris Grindlay.
From noseweek: “Who might the dodgy characters behind Planet Hoodia be? None other than Christopher and Jasmine Anne Grindlay who live in style on the back end of Table Mountain, at 11 Fisherman’s Bend Road, Llandudno.”

what is happening here? these products are still available on the market. If it does not work why are there no law that has it removed, so are we going to allow people's money to be taken from them and you know about the problems?
The ASA can only rule against the claims being made for these products, but cannot take them off the market nor ban them. The MCC (Medicines Control Council) can ban these products and also remove them from the market right now, but are paralysed and doing nothing about them. That is why we even have "AIDS-cures" on the market. Depressing and disgusting.
