    You believe what you want. It doesn’t change the fact that literally tens of thousands of people end up in the hospital each year because of acetaminophen and that it is the leading cause of liver failure in multiple countries. Unless you have specific kidney problems, or are one of the minority of people (<20%) with asthma who react poorly to it.

    Ibuprofen carries risk with continued use. Acetaminophen caries risks with a single over dose, which is only a couple of pills over the daily recommended maximum dosage.

      My dude, what are you actually talking about? Call me a skeptic but I must take with a massive grain of salt what you say when you confuse Tylenol as being an NSAID — something that is very easily looked up; so I can’t even tell if you’re confusing studies conducted on Ibuprofen versus Tylenol.

      The studies you mention elsewhere:

      • Yes, if you take FOUR GRAMS within a 24 hour period, that can cause damage. People are dumb and don’t read labels and take in excess.

      • If you take the recommended dosage of 325mg even every 4 hours as opposed to 6, you’re still under 2 grams in a 24-hour period.

      • Yes, Tylenol is less effective than Ibuprofen for things like headaches and inflammatory pains because — again — it is NOT a Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).

      • Don’t be stupid: Don’t take Tylenol with Alcohol, use it acutely, and follow the instructions and you’ll be fine so long as you discuss with your doctor. Not rocket science.

      Obviously the dose makes the poison. You can literally poison yourself by drinking water in excess, too.
