And FYI, Centrum is harmless, what goes in it is harmless, appart for the pure vitamins which are highly toxic (these are diluted, ~1-2% of multivitamins are actually vitamins, the rest is mostly lactose or microcyrtaline cellulose as filler).

Also, as much as I dislike the politics behind pharmaceuticals I know for fact that the OTC products are quite harmless to people with no allergies. We spend years developping these products and are heavily regulated. Horus tells us that we use lotsa solvents, while that is true and highly poluting (something which is really pissing me off, but that's a whole other subject), there are no traces of the solvent once synthesis is achieved, we keep what we need from material and reject the rest, what goes in your pills has been through solvent and dried at very high temperatures to make sure the solvent evaporates, the vapors are filtered, the product is tested using chromatography to ensure there isn't any impurities or any residue from the orignal material or solvent... a pretty safe process if you ask me.

I could go on for days Horus, I have 8 years experience on the matter... next time you wanna look brilliant while talking out of your ass, make sure you know who you're dealing with.
