MEG UMANS was thinking about FDA Acts and keyed into cyberspace:

Right. And let's just ignore the fact that there were people dropping 
dead in the tryptophan fiasco and that there have been 18 deaths and 
over 800 reportable events due to ephedrine use. 
Do you know what a "reportable event" is? I do. It is where some form of 
life support is required. IOW, if medical attention was not received, 
there would have been over 800 additional deaths.
So, lets whine about some fairy tale fantasy about something cutting 
into profits and forget people are dropping dead. Sure. 
Do you know of an alternative treatment for paranoia?
