Caution! I have been told Mormon prohibitions against alcohol, tobacco, cola, etc. are simply aimed at preserving one's good health. Ephedra is one of the ingredients in "Fen Phen", recently a popular weight loss/weight control dietary supplement. It has fallen out of popularity, because it is potentially dangerous. I am not not not a medical doctor. But check on this stuff, before considering any use of the substance. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Regards, Steve Anderson, Huntington Beach, CA sanderson@net999.com
