Oooow , . . Thats pretty hard core paranoid, eh? However, Bayer is
located in CT also! Actually, aspirin research is ongoing all over the
world, and it would be tough for one company to "pay off" research on
such a large front!

OTOH that sort of research is usually limited to patented drugs.
But then again, if it allows release of some things too toxic now, the
aspirin research would be a remarkably high return investment for any
pharm co.

If one is taking aspirin, then one is not taking Tylenol. Problem
was known even in the early 1970s. Acetaminophen causes liver damage
if taken with drinking alcohol. Is aspirin protecting the liver, or
just causing the user to not damage his liver by taking
Acetaminophen? Without first viewing the numbers, speculation would
easily promote aspirin as a solution rather than address Acetaminophen
as the problem. Well call that propaganda or spin.

Reading the science, it appears that one daily, tiny aspirin (St.
Joseph's baby aspirin, as one example) can protect the liver from the
large doses of acetaminophen that people tend to pop without even
thinking about it.
