Why Does Public Citizen Think that Ephedra Should be Banned?
Public Citizen is basing its proposed ban on the same unscientific information that was used by FDA to support the proposed limits on the sale of Ephedra products, a proposal that FDA has now substantially withdrawn. Public Citizen, like FDA in 1997, has ignored the considerable body of clinical data that shows that Ephedra is safe and effective when taken as directed. EEC agrees with one aspect of the Public Citizen proposal, synthetic products should not be sold as natural products.
