Don’t take Tylenol. Among many other problems, Tylenol depletes your body of a key compound, glutathione.
Don’t give it to your kids.
Although ubiquitous, it’s not safe.
Scientists have been calling the alarm on acetaminophen, the main ingredient in Tylenol, for years.
What’s wrong with acetaminophen?
Acetaminophen depletes the body of glutathione. We’ve known this for years. Glutathione is made from three amino acids: cysteine, glutamate, and glycine.
Your cells contain glutathione. And your body uses it for detoxification.
Over time, your cells make less glutathione. Depleted glutathione levels often go hand-in-glove with poorer health.
Glutathione is a natural antioxidant. An antioxidant is a compound that inhibits oxidation.
Without getting into a lot of complicated biochemistry, the important point here is that antioxidants are good. Glutathione is good.
Anything that inhibits your body’s natural production of glutathione? Not good.
Don’t take Tylenol
As dozens of peer-reviewed studies have shown, Tylenol can cause liver failure, asthma, and neurological disorders,
Just a double dose can cause acute liver issues.
In face, acetaminophen toxicity is the leading cause of Acute Liver Failure (ALF) in developed countries.
And there is an abundance of evidence linking Tylenol use in early childhood to autism.
According to my sources, it would be relatively easy to make Tylenol a safer drug. Immunologist and biochemist William Parker, Ph.D., says manufacturers could do this by bundling it with an antioxidant. However, the manufacturers do not want to improve the safety profile of Tylenol.
Why should they?
Johnson & Johnson, an untrustworthy company
This over-the-counter pain reliever is a cash cow for Johnson & Johnson. J&J is a masterful company. They run effective advertising campaigns. They’re genius at convincing consumers they’re a “trusted brand.” They maximize profits—time and again—by duping the public.
Moreover, their products, especially children’s Tylenol, are not safe. And they know it.
A valuable company? Yes. A trusted company? No.
As I wrote about in my book, Your Baby, Your Way, Johnson & Johnson baby products are awash in toxic chemicals, including known carcinogens.
With colon and other cancers sharply rising among younger and younger people, it’s imperative to avoid cancer-causing substances as much as we can.
Moreover, the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine has had devastating side effects for some people. Including death.
The takeaway is simple: Don’t take Tylenol. Throw it in the trash. And read the ingredients in every over-the-counter medicine in your bathroom cabinet. If it contains acetaminophen, throw it away as well.

Alternatives have not worked well for me but I’m interested in which antioxidant and how much to take with Tylenol to make it safer?
Jennifer Margulis, Ph.D. says
Christi, Dr. Cammy Benton, M.D., recommends to her patients who really need to use Tylenol that they take N-acetyl Cysteine (Nac) with the acetaminophen as a way to lessen the potential ill effects on the liver. A functional or integrative doctor or other health care practitioner should be able to help you dial in the dose, based on your height, weight, body chemistry, and individual sensitivities.
