Yes the main ingredients of anti-freeze are in many over the counter medicines. Used as preservatives in most cases. This country allows all sorts of crap in our foods that shouldn't be there. Look for Propylene Glycol, or Ethylene Glycol listed in the ingredients list. Not to mention that BHA and BHT which are in much of our food is "Rubber preservatives" invented in WWII to keep synthetic rubber from deteriorating in our tires when our supply of natural rubber was cut off during the Pacific war.

Um, you're doc probably is right a little bit but it's no big thing and any antifreeze will be in *tiny* amounts. ...... Keep on taking the vitimans if you have a cold but apart from that don't worry about it.

Antifreeze is liquid and vitamins are solid so I seriously doubt it.

He's not telling you to go chug a jug of automotive antifreeze! There is a substance in our bodies that is also found in anitfreeze (an ingredient of it). He's saying it would be benificial to you health if you got more of this.

Not sure about antifreeze but alot of OTC vitamins contain aspartame. Aspartame is bad for you on so many levels. Goggle it.

How much could there possibly be in one little pill?
THINK ABOUT THIS!!
Even if the pill was 100% antifreeze, the dose would still be harmless BECAUSE IT'S SO SMALL.
First rule of Toxicology:
EVERYTHING is poisonous in a large enough dose, and NOTHING is poisonous in a small enough dose. DOSE IS EVERYTHING.
