NVE Pharmaceuticals of New Jersey contends the FDA lacks proof that ephedra is dangerous if used as directed

I don't know much about this drug .. But I do know that ANY drug can be dangerous if not used as directed or abused ... and the includes Aspirin

Are they going to ban Aspirin next?

I don't know.

I do know that the major case that caused this was Bechler's death - and USA TOday reported shortly afterwards that he was taking three pills in the morning - that's three times the recommended dose of my supplement.

Oops. Tommy Thompson didn't mention that, did he?

And the RAND study reportedly said ephedra was safe if it was used according to the directions on the label.

Oops. The FDA head (McClellan) didn't say much about THAT, either, did he?
