17/06/02 - The US has thus far stood firm in its determination not to ban the popular herbal weight loss remedy ephedra despite similar bans in Europe and Canada. However, the Washington authorities have not been deaf to calls for action, and have announced plans for further research into the effects of the herb, and a clampdown on the illegal marketing of non-herbal synthetic ephedrine products.
"It is crucial that we have a full understanding of these dietary supplements," said Tommy Thompson, US Health and Human Services secretary. "By increasing our breadth of knowledge about these supplements, we can give consumers the information they need to make informed decisions about these products."
