    The chem compare function on erowid explains this better than I ever could, this truely being a case where a picture is worth a thousand words. It's a difference as to the posistion of the oxygen on the beta carbon. Since it's the removal of this atom which gives meth, it is thus irrelavent whether pseudo or ephedrine is used.
