Tylenol vs. Ibuprofen: The Risks No One Talks About
Tylenol is everywhere — in our homes, hospitals, and daily routines. But what do we actually know about it? In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Urban Kiernan breaks down the real science behind Tylenol (acetaminophen), how it differs from ibuprofen, and why its reputation for being “safe” deserves a closer look.
We dive into:
⚠️ Why acetaminophen would fail modern clinical trial standards
⚠️ The truth behind NAPQI — the toxic byproduct no one talks about
⚠️ Why acetaminophen should never be taken during pregnancy
⚠️ What research really says about autism and Tylenol (not what the internet claims)
⚠️ How long is “too long”? How much is “too much”?
⚠️ Why ibuprofen and Tylenol work differently — and when each is actually appropriate
⚠️ The surprising role of humidity and medication absorption
If you’ve ever reached for Tylenol without thinking twice… this episode will change that. The goal isn’t fear — it’s clarity, science, and informed choices.
Your health deserves more than assumptions. It deserves the truth.
