Should ephedra be made illegal?

Researchers studying ephedra at the University of California, San Francisco, reported that people who take ephedra products are 200 times more likely to suffer a complication than are users of other herbal supplements. Ephedra is responsible for 64 percent of all adverse reactions from the use of herbal supplements, although ephedra products make up less than 1 percent of all herbal supplements sold in the United States. Public Citizen, a consumer advocacy group, says 100 deaths since 1995 have now been linked to ephedra.
