This is just a new excerpt from a news show based in Toronto, my city. I've heard all of this danger stuff before about Ephedra, but, am wondering if Ephedra, Ephedrine, Norephedrine and any other Phedrine are in the same family or whatever.....
I'll do my own research, as I always do, but, I'm wondeirng if anyone here knows off hand.

It’s called ephedra, and Health Canada doesn’t want you to use it. It's asking stores to voluntarily remove products using the stimulant from their shelves, worrying the effects outweigh the benefits. “There has been over 60 Canadian adverse drug reactions reported for products containing ephedra and ephedrine,” explains Health Canada’s Dr. Brian Gillespie. “These reactions have included abnormal heart rhythms, psychotic reactions, seizures, heart attacks and death.”
The substance is contained in weight loss products, and is frequently used by athletes to enhance performance. It can be dangerous if you exceed 8 milligrams per dose or 32 milligrams per day, or if it's used in combination with other stimulants, such as caffeine. “If you go too high with the dose, your heart will start pounding,” advises Bal Chokker of Nature’s Source, which sells herbal products. “You will start sweating.”
Nasal sprays and decongestants which have an 8-digit Drug Identification Number or any product with less than 8 milligrams of ephedra, aren’t affected by the order.
Health Canada warns consumers to watch for products:
With a dose unit of more than eight milligrams of ephedrine.
That recommend a single dose greater than eight milligrams or more than 32 milligrams a day.
That combine ephedrine and stimulants, such as caffeine.
That claim to aid appetite suppression, promote weight loss, enhance metabolism, increase exercise tolerance, aid body-building, cause euphoria or other stimulative effects.
