"Labels don’t show everything in
all cases"
The deaths of Northwestern defensive back and Baltimore
Orioles pitcher brought a lot of attention to the use
of ephedra and the lack of federal regulation on herbal
supplements. Many people do not even know what ingredients
are contained in their herbal supplements, a mistake that
has often resulted in deaths.
Experts now warn that just because new products are
being advertised, as “ephedra free” does
not mean label reading is not necessary. The resource
specialist for The Center for Drug Free Sport finds
it interesting that athletes can pay so much attention
to nutrition labeling on food but fail to read herbal
supplement labels, which can be a deadly mistake.
