it is nice, but...

I think itwas nicely put to gether and well organized. However, he forgot to mention the recent stack of research that directly demonstrates ephedras safty.

And that the Beta receptors on the heart to become accustomed to and the eleveated HR lessens over time, as does the over stimulation of the nervous system.

I beleive there is a number of longitutinal studies that looked at the effects of long term ephedra use AS DIRECTED, and found no adverse health effects.

Many people take more than reccomended and thats when it becomes a problem. But you'll notice that about 90% of the reported cases were "probably" associated with ephedra.

Its much like when the collegate wrestlers died back in '91 was it? the media would have had you beleive that it was creatine that killed them even though 2 out of the 3 of them weren't using it at all.

But the article was some good reading, I found it interesting
