Ok, I can't get the link to work. Here's the highlights.
Metabolife International Inc. and its founder were indicted Thursday on federal charges of lying to the Food and Drug Administration about the dangers of a popular diet supplement containing ephedra, the now-banned herbal stimulant linked to dozens of deaths.
charged with six counts of making false statements to the FDA and two counts of trying to obstruct the agency's attempt to regulate supplements containing ephedra.
Federal prosecutors said Ellis lied when he told the FDA in 1998 and again in 1999 that his company had "never received one notice from a consumer that any serious adverse health event has occurred because of the ingestion of Metabolife 356," according to the indictment.

When I read about that, I was shocked how people are so obsessed with losing weight and dropping body fat that they would jeopardize their heath.
I never had a single adverse reaction to either of them and, because two women out of a thousand get a heart murmur or some stupid thing, we ALL have to suffer.
