Ephedra is still banned....

[Terra]

From what I understand they won't pull ephedra from the health food stores since that isn't regulated under FDA guidelines. But the day is coming soon since it's getting priced right off the shelf (which is why people are breaking into the pharmacies and health food establishments to raid it). Ma Huang is the biggest contributer to the ephedra mix but there are some compounds that come pretty close to it in chemical makeup (not that I would know what they are) in the "natural food" industry.
