Fda Hearing

NPR's Vicky Que (KWAY) reports that the Food and Drug Administration today opened a two-day meeting to discuss 'herbal' products containing a natural form of the stimulant ephedrine. The products have been linked to hundreds of cases of adverse health effects. The FDA is considering taking action against them, raising concerns among the makers of other herbal products.
