You know what? I beleive that the injuries suffered by some were caused by hydroxycut and metabolife, etc. But I also know that these supplements are abused by those who expect too much too quickly. And as a result, they end up hurting themselves. Some people, like myself, do not have the constitution to handle these drugs at the recommended dosage. So I cut the dosage in half. I can name supplements like "Ripped Fuel", "Metabolife", and "Hydroxycut" I've used the ephedra and nonephedra version of all these and have lost weight. I never kept it off though; for some reson when you stop using this stuff, you eat like crazy. But I never got sick. I never exceeded the recommended dosage. If the dosage recommends 1 pill 3 times a day, I take 1 pill before exercise and that's it. If I diet and exercise every day, I lose weight. If my doctor says "stop", "don't", or "reduce" I do it. There were reports that athletes and anorexics were taking 2 to 3 times the recommended dosages---that's crazy!! Everything in moderation. What useful drug can you take where, if abused, won't cause any harm, asprin, water, vitamins, what? But I guess in a world of abusive people, not to mention lawsuit crazy, the FDA has to be careful. I wonder how many of those 23 people took the drug against their doctor's advice? How many actually checked with a doctor(the label recommends it)? The young man who died, he was 19 years old. Was he healthy? Did he take the drug as it was recommended on the container? I just lost 14 pound using the hydroxycut powder. Now I guess I have to go O'natural.
