Ephedra is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jakehalligan]

Channel 7 Boston just reported a federal judge (in Ohio i think) just overturned the ban on Ephedra and the FDA can no longer enforce it.

Some nutrition company apparently sued on the basis its been being used for hundreds of years etc. Common Fucking sense prevails for once!!

If I see it back on the shelves, I'm stocking up. This probably wont be the end of this.

Federal Judge Strikes Down F.D.A. Ban on Ephedra
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Published: April 14, 2005


ALT LAKE CITY -- A federal judge Thursday struck down the FDA ban on ephedra, the once-popular weight-loss aid that was yanked from the market after it was linked to dozens of deaths.

The judge ruled in favor of a Utah company that challenged the Food and Drug Administration's ban. Utah-based Nutraceutical claimed in its lawsuit that ephedra "has been safely consumed" for hundreds of years.

Supplements that included ephedra have been widely used for weight loss and bodybuilding, but have linked to 155 deaths, including that of Baltimore Orioles pitching prospect Steve Bechler. The FDA ordered the substance off the market in April 2004.

Judge Tena Campbell's ruling sends the matter back to the FDA "for further rulemaking consistent with the court's opinion" and keeps the agency from enforcement action against the companies.

FDA officials did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

Company president Bruce Hough said the decision is about "protecting the public's access to safe and effective dietary supplements

Don't they realize that this will only lead to legislation that will give the FDA tighter controls over the supplement market?

I wouldn't be surprised if this ultimately results in the removal of all ephedrine products from the market.
