Linked to 155 deaths? Compared to the millions of people that take supplements containing Ephedera? More people probably OD on asprin.

FYI. There were 250 deaths last year due to peanut allergies.

So what do the feds do? Ban ephedra.

Gee, this does NOT make sense, and it's probably inviolation here.

We're talking 165 deaths TOTAL vs. 250 to peanuts a year.

But something had to take the fall because someone did not follow the directions on the label. Ephedra took the fall. Now, when my stockpile runs out, I'm going to have to welcome back the 25 pounds I gained.

Thanks for NOTHING, Secretary Thompson.
