Re: Metabolife, ephedra, California, scandal?

[Guest guest]

I took them off my shelves & threw them away. And that was in my insider

info!!!!

They scare me badly! My son (32) and his wife wanted them and I turned them

away. No way.

I have friends in high places in the regulation business and they've known

how horribly dangerous ephedrine (ma-huang) is for YEARS. They do studies,

present the evidence, and then get shot down by a politician on the dole.

Not direct payoffs, just campaign contributing like you mention. It can

cause death at recommended dosages in healthy people. Please beware.

PS Anything good about creatine? It makes me feel spacey, although I'm

taking glutamine to help me sleep.
