Have you noticed all the recent ANTI-aspirin information in the press?

But ibuprophen is associated with Stevens Johnson Syndrome, while acetaminophen is associated with kidney failure. And who knows how acetaminophen and ibuprophen impact the liver?

Have you noticed how there recently have been big stories about how it is DANGEROUS for people to be taking a baby aspirin everyday, unless they have already had a heart attack?

What gives??

What is the truth, and how do we discover it?

For instance, how many supplements & vitamins are genuinely SAFE in the amounts most people take them, and who is deciding this?

Does anyone happen to know if taking NAC would prevent the dangerous side effects from either ibuprophen or from acetaminophen?

Thanks.

Vitamins and Minerals are PERFECTLY SAFE, BUT ..some COMMON SENSE is Necessary (have to add that for the whiners). Fat soluble vitamins A,D, and E can cause problems taken in LARGE AMOUNTS(like by the HANDFUL).The problem is the “SCUMSUCKERS” like to add HERBAL into the mix.and treat the 3 as 1 item.
Herbal preparations ARE Medicine, as they were the original base of most medications (synthesized so they could be PATENTED).. and the herbals are VERY EFFECTIVE, but they cannot be PATENTED, so PHarma and their Lapdogs at the FDA try to make them Illegal.

Yeah, weird coincidence, eh? Sure, aspirin killed Euell Gibbons, but no one liked him anyway. ;’) Thanks hennie pennie.

B vitamin outperforms another drug in keeping arteries clear (niacin)
