Risy business

Do you remember all of the big hullabaloo that happened when diet pills with ephedra were banned a few years ago?  Apparently even though these products helped people to lose weight, it increased the risk of strokes and heart attacks to a dangerous degree.  And yet people still try to buy it illegally!  I wouldn’t be surprised, though, if what people think is ephedra is really a counterfeit drug that is nothing but ground up drywall.
