And if anyone witnessed his harassment or "attack" on her.

He tells her to perform an illegal act. She, upright and virtuous refuses. He aroused by this erotic response then attempts to jump her bones. In front of witnesses????? Hmm…

With the approval of the grease palmed, bureaucratic policymakers. Continue to push unsafe substances on the populous. Much like the street level "Drug Dealers". Many times with expotentially worse effect. Than the supposed "Hard Drugs"- such as cannabis. Point in fact, is the over prescription of speed for an invented condition....A.D.D. Realistically, Ritalin is speed, or more chemically known as methaphetimane. So, Madame Gleason chose to get out of the "gang mentality" of big pharma. And, got harrassed, shunned, and jumped on in a corporate fashion. Thank you for your time fellow free thinking people. Just a small realization, upon reading this article.

It was nice seeing you at Jonathan's wedding. Litigation is not a fun practice, but it sounds like you have a strong case. Andrew Hey Mrs. Gleason,

I am glad you are choosing the higher moral ground. It was nice seeing you at Jonathan’s wedding. Litigation is not a fun practice, but it sounds like you have a strong case.

Aspartame breaks down into residual chemicals like aspartic acid, phenylalanine, and methanol, among others. Aspartic acid ALONE is known to cause brain lesions and tumors. Splenda was my favorite until recently.. when I found out that the chemical it breaks down into w/in the body actually has the capability of altering DNA. This one was discovered when they were attempting to create new insecticides. No joke. Read what chemists themselves have to say after evaluating these tasty bits. Our country is chemically dependent, whether it be artificial sweeteners or RX. Around 300,000 ppl on average die per year due to "safe", "approved", "regulated" prescription drugs - the human race made it quite far without their aid.

I sold and travelled for over 45 years and no one in management would ever push me to do illegal or imoral things. I would have blown the roof off the whole thing wether I got fired or not. Right is right and wrong is wrong. She did the right thing and should have been promoted for her ethical stand. Hooray for te salselady who refused to sell off label.

Are you kidding me? Try getting over an invasive fungal or bacterial infection on yogurt and broccoli!! You can get those infections by digging in the dirt or swimming in a lake or river. Sorry to get off topic, but Kalahari needs to move to a third world country with no health-care to appreciate the pharma R&D. Artificial sweeteners are the real killers! What?! Are you kidding me?

I strongly suspect Big Pharma's petrochemical-based "drugs" are behind the huge surge in cancers and other deadly health disasters. Yet we see in the news almost daily that they skew and fund tests and reports on vitamins, minerals, etc. to make a trusting public believe they are worthless or even harmful. They are what nature put in our foods to nourish and keep us healthy, not man-made poisons. No one ever suffers due to a drug-deficiency and not one drug has ever cured anything - EVER! But they kill well over 106,000 Americans every year. How many die from clean foods and their nutrients? NONE!...unless it is way overdone.

Even if the rep is found to be telling the complete truth, few people have the money and grit to fight these companies to the end.
