As much as I dislike the use of diet pills...I have to agree with you about the ephedra ban...It was very hypocritical of the government to step in and ban it....but of course they are not making money off of it like they are with cigarettes...

My husband used ephedra to help with his asthma...and guess what it worked...He now has to take two inhalers without the ephedra and their side effects are worse than the so called side effects of ephedra...but again the government gets money from the pharmaceutical companies....
