in all honesty. in moderation no. they banned it because a few asshats took over the reccomended allowance, didnt eat or drink and then were outside in the head for extended periods of time.

Chineese people have been taking it for years. in moderation with some exersize and still having a little bit of a diet, it is a very good tool to shed some weight.

they lifted the ban anyway
