"Ephedra is a compound most commonly found in the herb majuang. This herb
has been used for centuries around the world, most notably in China, as a very
effective remedy for various illness including obesity and asthma. It is safe
and incredibly effective.
In a very well orchestrated debunking campaign, the FDA has banned
the use of Ephedra stating it is dangerous. Ephedra was banned because
153 deaths have been linked to taking Ephedra. Now, millions of people
were taking Ephedra. If you take any group of ten million people, over a
year, there�s a good chance that 153 people in that group will die. The
FDA said there is a "link" between Ephedra use and those deaths. There is
absolutely no conclusive evidence that Ephdra caused those deaths or even
had a remote association with those deaths."
