From the article...

But wait a second, weren’t there at least 100 people who died as a result of using ephedra products? Not really. Despite the medical community’s “party line” that the doctor has apparently bought into, the case against ephedra is based on statistical nonsense. The FDA compiled, over several years, a list of people who had died from heart attacks or strokes and had been using ephedra. They then determined that 100% of the people on that list of people who died had been using ephedra. That makes ephedra pretty dangerous, yes? No!!! You could make the same argument against water. Make a list of all those who have died from heart attack and stroke and also drank water. By definition, 100% of the people on that list would be water drinkers. That doesn’t mean that drinking water caused those strokes and death. It actually doesn’t mean anything. It’s bogus logic.
