Stacker 2 Lite With Ephedra Stacker 2 Lite with ephedra is history. Staker 2 Lite is now ephedra free because ephedra was banned in the United States in late 2006 and the products with ephedra have (or supposed to have been) pulled from the shelves. There may be a few retailers still selling products with ephedra but they should not be selling them in the United States. There are some people who are trying to get the ban lifted for the second time but it may not happen this time. Ephedra was banned in 2003 because there were over 800 reports of serious health issues experienced by ephedra users and some deaths since 1994. The ban was lifted in 2005 because some people got a petition to overturn the ban decision. The courts decided that the Food and Drug Administration did not have enough proof that if used in smaller amounts (10 mg. or less) would be dangerous to one’s health. After the ban was lifted people again suffered from heart attacks and strokes as well as other side effects from as little as 8 mg. of ephedra. By this time there were over 1,000 reports of people hospitalized from serious issues from the use of ephedra products and at least 17 deaths. The ephedra was banned again and again people are still trying to get the ban lifted. It seems that these people involved in this are not thinking of their fellow men who have suffered from this dangerous plant or synthetic. Ephedra was available in both forms, synthetic and natural but they both caused serious problems for some. The numbers of injured people were just too great for the Food and Drug Administration to ignore. There are other ingredients which can work as well as ephedra without causing the side effects the ephedra did. It only makes good sense to stay away from ephedra. Some of the other products which once contained ephedra but are now are ephedra free are Staker 2 EF (ephedra free), Staker 3 EF, Hydorxycut, Metabolife, Metabolite, Metabolift, Ripped Power, Diet Fuel, Trimspa x32 (replaced ephedra with hoodia gordonii), zantrex 3, Phentramin, and many many more. Some of the other side effects experienced by some were insomnia, high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, rapid heartbeat, tremors, nervousness, seizures, and the already mentioned heart attacks and strokes as well as death. There are other side effects not mentioned in this list. It is very dangerous to take any ephedra product with aspirin (willow bark, salicytes, and salicylic acid) or with caffeine (guarana, kola nut, or cocoa extract). The combination of these can be lethal, or at the very least life threatening. If you experience any serious side effect from any natural diet supplement, contact your doctor as soon as possible and notify your local Health department and you can also call the FDA Consumer Hotline at 800-532-4440. You can be compensated for your illness. All Text Copyright © dmcrecycling.com |
