What drives me nuts is that sassafrass was determined to be a carcinogen by giving megadoses of it to rats. Well geez, table salt is a carcinogen too, in huge quantities. ::) Makes me wonder if the whole thing is a ploy by the soft drink industry to eliminate competition. Lucky for me, I just have to go down the street and dig up some sassafrass. ;)

Hate to say it, but no government ban has ever been based on anything other than some industry's economic ambitions.

Marijuana was banned because the hemp industry threatened the forestry/paper industry.

The recent ban on ephedra because 150 deaths over a period of a couple decades posed an "unacceptable risk" ??? Meanwhile thousand die each year from smoking, but the FDA considers that an acceptable risk ??? Somehow the logic eludes me. I guess the supplement industry hasn't lined enough pockets yet.
