"Overdoses of acetaminophen are the leading cause of acute liver failure." (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13702968/) yes, that's what they say now -- and don't take more than 4 grams a day (2 if you're a heavy drinker).
personally i never gave up aspirin when they came out with tylenol, and never even looked at ibuprofen (and doesn't it mess with kidneys anyhow?).
maybe it's just like the old folks say ... "use/do *whatever* in moderation" and "just because it's new doesn't mean it's better".

aspirin is just as bad---it gives you stomach bleeds ---of which you can die---I see just as many of those as the tylenol OD's. I actually consider tylenol safer than aspirin.

But aspirin does help heart disease by thinning the blood---hmmmmmmm---always ask your doctor!
ReplyDeletestomach bleeds -- interesting point. is there a correlation with age or frequency of use or is it random?
