Last night I was watching tv and saw the report linked below.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23175270/
It made me so angry to think that Bayer.. a company that I always thought was safe hid a report knowing that people were dying so that they could make money.22,000 lives were lost due to the use of this drug between the time that Bayer's researchers reported to them it was dangerous and the time it was discovered and they had to pull it..Sick thing is that the Bayer drug cost thousands while it's replacement was very little..
Bayer is also the maker of the pesticide that is believed to be responsible for the honey-bee deaths..

For gosh sake I gave my babies Bayer products!
..I will never buy from Bayer again! One -a-day vits, aleve,yasmin..how safe are they? Are we just waiting to see when someone dies?
I found the list below of products that bayer makes

Wow Raydene, you have certainly done your homework on Bayer products, and I thank you for that, and for the time you have spent researching their product.
I use a couple of their products on my dogs (Advantage and Advantix), and I will definitely boycott them in the future and use a different make.
Thanks for bringing it to our attention - goodness knows when we would have heard this information on our news here in Australia!

I think you'll be better off growing alll your own food. It will be easier to do that than to figure out which food manufactures get their grains and crops and fruit and veges from growers/farmers who don't use Bayer chemicals for fertilizer and crop protectoion.
Good for you doll for standing up for your beliefs .
