Alcohol is dangerous if overused also.
Anyone here want to ban the use of alcohol?
Cigarettes,what about them?
Thank God we have the government to keep us safe we are all such morons.

Linked to 155 deaths? Compared to the millions of people that take supplements containing Ephedera? More people probably OD on asprin.
Nevertheless, it just means more of you fatty's will be going to the grave early now that being fat has replaced smoking as the number one preventable cause of death.
I wonder how the number of deaths linked to dietary supplements compares to the number of deaths linked to being a fatty? hmmmm...

Any guesses on what we will actually have choices about in another 5-10 years? I'm guessing that by the time we get sick enough of government invasion of every aspect of our private lives to do something about it, it will be too late. Even now, we are helping them with the shackles.

This is crazy - people wanting to get healthy cannot. they are only banning it bc people abused it. what about fast food - that is probably the cause of more deaths than ephedra. i take ephedra as it helped me go from an unhealthy weight to one which is good. 165 people died - that is nothing more people die from asprin per year. UNBELEIVABLE.

This is so silly. Viagra will never go off the market, no matter how many men die or how many side effects, but never will any diet medication be allowed.
Very strange priority our FDA has.

We certainly will not see the pharmaceutical version of ephedra banned! It's in OTC cold, allergy and asthma medicines. Amazing!

More Big Brother mumbo jumbo. Sure it will kill you if you take 10 at once instead of using as directed. So will anything kill you when abused. I am so tired of all these restrictions on our freedom. When will we say "ENOUGH!"
Glad I stocked up awhile back and got several bottles.
