The article is from the AP remarking on the FDA's investigation into ephedra. The FDA's comments include:

"Ephedra has been linked to life-threatening side effects, even when used by outwardly healthy people at recommended doses, because it speeds heart rate and constricts blood vessels. Those effects can be exacerbated by exercise and use of other stimulants such as caffeine, and they're particularly risky if the user has certain underlying medical conditions such as heart disease."

Its not just dangerous when used irresponsibly, its dangerous at recommended doses. Over 100 deaths have been linked to it. If you don't see any problem with taking it, fine, but don't tell us its safe at recommended doses because its not, and the FDA supports that conclusion
