Food Advisory Committee divided on whether ephedrine safe dose can be identified.

EPHEDRINE ALKALOID SUPPLEMENT SAFE DOSE CANNOT BE IDENTIFIED or might be found at a very low level, members of FDA's Food Advisory Committee concluded in an informal "poll" taken at the group's Aug. 27-28 meeting in Washington, D.C. The members were divided into two camps on whether a safe dose for ephedrine alkaloids in dietary supplements could be identified.
