First off its spelled caffeine
.
Secondly the reason
ephedra was basically banned is because when your body processes the drug it basically turns it into meth, it has naturally has psuedoephedrine in it. As you can guess that is extremely hard on the human heart and caused many people to get sick and some did die taking ephedra even if they weren't famous.
I know I can't spell but I do know the human body and how chemicals work in it quite well.
I was using as a referance point to let you know how strong the suplement red line is.
As for your other comments, I'm not going to argue. I'm not here to debate the issue if obese or anorexic people or people predisposed to heart issues were pushed over the edge by this drug. You may be a doctor, or a biochem enginear. I'm not and won't get into it on that level... I can say i took the product on a daily basis for 2 and a half years several times a day, and then the whole heart scare came into play, and well my dad died young of heart disease/heart attack... I got little pads stuck to my chest and I jogged and they tested me and so on and so forth.. My heart was golden and I was obese, Just EXTREMELY health obese where I was running 3 miles 3 times a week in under 20 min. I don't blame drugs on people dieing. That's like saying ban guns because they are the things shooting people the morbidly desperate people will always find some magic pill that in the end will kill then due to lack of excersize and diet. So I can say as a high risk person who this pill (especialy taken in the amount I did) was healthier than most americans well.. I'm living proof. It's been curing colds for millenia in china, and used directly in the USA for Asthma , and in cold remedies here noow as a pharmapsudical drug for colds.. as you said pseudo ephedra.. it's still on shelves. So, it's good for the sick in a highly engineared concentraited and often HCL version or otherwise mixed with depressants(look up mixing stimulants and depressants or histamene blockers) meth and booze are a winner, lets give it to the sick(NyQuill).
Anyway, as I first stated I was giving you a baramoter of my tolerance, not an indecator of me wanting to duke it out mayne. I'm sorry if I hijacked and took the thread off track. I was just saying I too am a recovering caffeine( I can learn.. I probably won't remember however) junky.
