Ooops, let me clarify the numbers, a bit in the reply to Sassafras, It should be " Five Thousand " not fifty thousand, that had died or had serious advers affects from abusing Ma Huang, ( Ephedra ).
Sorry about that, Chief......

Ya know, I'm certainly no Albert Schweitzer or anything but it seems to me like the FDA can't be trusted as far as you can throw em. They have approved of poisons for human consumption such as aspartame etc... for years and thats why we got so many obese women running around with a diet pop and candy bar. The big pharmacy companies and big chemical companies can't patent a natural substance, so they make something artificial they can control and then make everyone believe that the natural compounds are baaad for you, and on top of that they make it illegal....interesting isn't it. And then when the artificial substance creates health problems they blame it on everything else and sell you some perscriptions to take care of the symptoms that the artificial stuff creates. It's just one big shell game they are playing.

Hehe, I agree. Totally, I don't trust the FDA, I don't think they do what's right, and like everything else have a certain amount of corruption and greed.
If we all were to listen to the FDA and every other person or agency whatever that said not to drink this and don't do that...we'd all have to live in padded rooms sipping water from straws that had the edges softened to not cut our lips...because cuts can lead to infections..and those invariably lead to death.
I think the FDA should go out, have a few beers, relax, and try to solve problems about people killing one another with guns, and other far more deadly things than worry about what natural medicinal substance MAY lead to cancer if you overdose it, live next to power lines, and eat paint chips :)
jamie:

Beleg813:
Ok, Jamie, just for you I think you should be allowed to eat paint chips :P
