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.

I don't care what the FDA and "experts" claim may be "linked" to whatever. "Links" can and often are made without sufficient evidence, and I believe no actual evidence showing ephedrine is a life-threatening substance for most people when used responsibly has been brought forward.

Over 100 deaths have been linked to it.

Not to negate loss of life, but there are more risky and widespread substances. I never said ephedrine was 100% safe, but that it had a wide safety margin. It is a subjective term, but most people would not be in much danger if they took all precautions into mind before using ephedrine.

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

The FDA hasn't made any conclusion. Do you trust everything to FDA says? What about the FDA's decision about l-tryptophan? What about their claimed links of kava and liver damage? Just because the FDA made a claim doesn't mean it is accurate.
No drug is 100% risk free and risk must be evaluated before using drugs, taking yourself into consideration.
Also, are you talking about ephedrine or ephedra?
