Thats fear mongering. Aspirin one of the safest drugs known to man, has a much longer history than Tylenol, and some scientists promote a more aggressive use of it in the populace.

- shaggyfrog 14y agoAspirin (and ibuprofen) is counter-indicated for people with stomach problems like GERD. That's not fear mongering.
- parasubvert 14y agoOf course not, but it's a big difference to say counter-indicated for one issue vs, leading off a post with "It is not safer". The point of this story is whether Tylenol IS safer, and that's mostly contingent on the person (and studies showing its own inherent risks).
- DanBC 14y agoParacetamol is safer. You've failed to provide any sources saying otherwise.
- parasubvert 14y agoYes, I did, if you look above, which references several studies. You on the other hand have cited none.
- darkarmani 14y ago> Aspirin one of the safest drugs known to man, has a much longer history than Tylenol I think cocaine and opium has a longer history too.
