CBS News | Ephedra Ban Set To Start | April 12, 2004
Sad day today as one of the few legal weight loss supplements that actually work becomes illegal b/c the nanny state has decided that it needs to save the children.
The nationwide ban was set to go into effect Monday.
Last month, however, the maker of the Stacker 2 ephedra brand filed a lawsuit seeking to block the ban. NVE Pharmaceuticals of New Jersey contends the FDA lacks proof that ephedra is dangerous if used as directed. The suit argues that the agency simply reacted to the emotion of high-profile deaths like Bechler's.
