Not that I'm a big fan of medication generally anyway...but this article about the heparin investigation really grossed me out.

Quote:
The process of making heparin begins with the intestines of slaughtered pigs. The mucous membrane from the intestines is collected and cooked, eventually producing a dry substance known as crude heparin. Major heparin producers like SPL take that substance, refine it and sell it to companies like Baxter that make the final product, which is widely used in cardiovascular surgery and dialysis.


*gag*

Think you mean Premarin, a replacement hormone made of pregant mare urine.

Imagine my disgust at first when I read this, considering Baxters is a Dairy Farm here. One I purchase from.

There isn't much that people eat that can't be construed as disgusting by one person or another. I had a friend that was a vegetarian that didn't eat vegetables. His diet consisted almost entirely of cheese pizza and nachos.

He didn't eat root vegetables because they were grown in ****. Everyone can find something wrong with just about everything.
