Problems with Citrus aurantium information in "A review on botanical species and chemical compounds with appetite suppressing properties for body weight control".

Various botanical extracts are used as adjuncts in treating obesity. A recent review concerning botanical products used to suppress appetite has included a discussion of Citrus aurantium and p-synephrine. The authors have incorrectly equated the actions of C. aurantium with ephedra in terms of adrenergic receptor binding, pharmacological effects and safety. Current research literature is reviewed which clarifies these issues.
