Not-so-fun Fact: Bayer lost their branding rights and the product was given the name "aspirin" by court order because people wouldn't stop calling the product by its brand-name (a fate which may someday befall "Kleenex," "Google," "Photoshop," and other brands as well)...

Player #875935, Why do you say supposed to be? Actually it is used for people already at risk of a heart attack on a daily basis and at very low dosage. No one is advised to use it to improve heart health. You might try reading decent science articles rather than the reports in the media which are generally inaccurate.

Irish Gale, Heroin is created from opium's 1st derivative, morphine in a five stage refinement process that includes boiling with ammonia, heating for 7 hours with acetic anhydride mixing in chloroform to remove impurities and adding sodium carbonate to solidify.the fourth stage is highly volatile using ether and hydrochloric acid. I'm not sure if nature could have worked that out herself

DizzyGatekeeper79860, Bayer didn't invent heroin. Bayer developed more a efficient method for deriving heroin from the opium poppy. The use of heroin predates Bayer.

Bayer bought concentration camp victims in WWII. What an absolutely horrific company that all should boycott.

Blackdove67, Monsanto certainly is evil. they don't seem to care what they're doing to food or the planet as long as they make their money. Bayer did much good for humanity, even tho they invented other drugs than Aspirin. just ask your moms or grannies how they'd have got along with horrible periods, headaches, and other pains before other pain killers became available. it's humans that ignored the drug warnings and overused them.

One Tylenol (acetaminophen) pill is enough to kill a dog or cat. It's not safe to give any animal drugs formulated for humans.

Lynn, Monsanto makes Roundup. Bayer makes the nicotine-based pesticides that have killed the bees. Fine corporate citizens.
