the article makes out like it's just nasty evil stuff. it was the original miracle drug and it's still a miracle drug. some people have sensitivities to it, so as with all medications you can't just give it to everybody and expect 100% universally positive responses.

you and i can't take it, but that doesn't make it toxic or evil and it's odd to see it included here as if the company is evil for making it.
