Tylenol maker Kenvue denies the connection allegedly made in the report, which is expected to be published by the Department of Health and Human Services this month.
I’m confused where this zeitgeist about Tylenol being bad for you is coming from. I remember working in pharmacy that taking Acetaminophen was the least reactive painkiller with the least number of long-term issues, but I’m hearing a lot more people talking about how bad it is for you.
The studies I’ve seen have been correlative at best, and, considering that NSAIDs and opioid painkillers are far worse over time, I don’t understand the dissonance in advice that seems to be appearing.
It’s pretty easy to overdose on Acetaminophen, Wikipedia suggests >100k a year in the us (it’s in so many OTC medication, stuff like cough syrups and the like, really easy to hit the 4g/day max dose)

Is this more “seed oil” nonsense?

I’ll still use it, just use it responsibly.
Not as easy as aspirin.
