Congress debates ephedra! Hopefully this will "save the children" from this evil supplement that is also one of the few fat loss products that actually work. It is a sham that because someone miss uses something, the rest of the population must suffer. They can debate it all they want, but all the products I would have used that contained ephedra are no longer produced because the insurance costs were too high. Next they will ban cars because if people drive them too fast they can lose control and kill themselves.

"How many Steve Bechlers or Sean Rigginses have to die to prove that these are not safe?" Pat Bechler said, sitting behind a framed picture of her son in his Orioles uniform, her voice cracking. "We need to get this off the market. We need to help our children."

Well Ms. Belcher, it didn't help that your son was fat, out of shape and cutting his calories to ridiculous levels when taking this supplement. Do you think that your families history or heart problems along with your son being a lazy during the off season to his death. In fact Ms. Belcher, it says pretty clearly on every bottle of ephedra I've ever seen (and the one your son was using) that you shouldn't USE THE PRODUCT IF YOU HAVE A HISTORY OF HEART PROBLEMS IN YOUR FAMILY. Perhaps your son couldn't read, or he should have trained in the off seaon and not mixed a ridiculously unhealthy diet with a supplement that warned people not to use with his family history. Common sense sometimes goes a long way.
