Does anyone have a problem with this?

WARNING: Not intended for use by anyone under the age of 18. Do not use
this product if you are pregnant or nursing. Consult a health care
professional before using this product if you have heart disease,
thyroid disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, depression or other
psychiatric condition, glaucoma, difficulty in urinating, prostate
enlargement, or seizure disorder, if you are using a monoamine oxidase
inhibitor (MAOI), or any other prescription drug, or you are using an
over-the-counter drug containing ephedrine, pseudoephedrine or
phenylpropanolamine (ingredients found in certain allergy, asthma,
cough/cold and weight control products).

Exceeding recommended serving will not improve results and may cause
serious adverse health effects.

Discontinue use and call a health care professional immediately if you
experience rapid heartbeat, dizziness, severe headache, shortness of
breath, or other similar symptoms.

• The long history of safe use of ephedra products, as well as the
isolated alkaloids ephedrine and pseudoephedrine in over-the-counter
(OTC) drugs;

• Clinical data on ephedrine/caffeine combination products, and on
ephedra alone and combined with caffeine, showing the safety and
benefits of these products for weight loss;

• Consumption data showing that sales of ephedra products have increased
exponentially over the last five years while the number of reports of
possible adverse events has decreased;

• Comparisons of estimates of the incidence of strokes, heart attacks
and seizures in the general population to the incidence of the same
events in ephedra consumers, showing that there is no increase in risk
from the consumption of ephedra;

• Comprehensive analyses of all adverse event reports submitted to FDA
showing that there is no association between the reported serious
adverse events and the consumption of ephedra products according to the
current national standards (i.e., current voluntary industry labeling
practices); and

• Thorough reviews of the published literature, including all published
case reports, showing that the published literature supports the safety
of ephedra products when consumed according to the current national
standard.
