Bayer - just what exactly do those vitamins do?

A nonprofit group in Washington has filed a lawsuit against Bayer Healthcare charging that the company’s labels and commercials falsely claimed its One A Day multivitamins for men may reduce the risk of prostate cancer.

In a complaint, filed on Wednesday in Superior Court in San Francisco, the Center for Science in the Public Interest charged that Bayer had deceived the group’s membership of some 756,000 people who bought the pills under false premises. The group asked the court to permanently prohibit Bayer from making prostate claims about its dietary supplements.
