Why Tylenol Can Be Harmful #sickkids #momlife #shorts

I rarely recommend giving children or pregnant women Tylenol. Do you want to know why? Not only because it's full of colors, dyes, sugars, and additives— it's besides the point. The main reason is that it depletes glutathione. What's glutathione? Glutathione is one of the most powerful antioxidants the body naturally produces. Now, when Tylenol is consumed, it's converted to a toxin in the body called napki. In order for the body to get rid of this toxin, glutathione stores are needed. One or two doses of Tylenol, it won't do too much harm. Don't worry about that. It's the repeated doses and especially before or after childhood shots. I worry the body's detox pathways are inhibited. All right, when levels of glutathione are low, the body's less able to protect itself from the damage and inflammation, which can lead to a number of health problems. For examples, studies show that when pregnant women consume Tylenol, their children have a greater chance of ADHD and other behavioral issues. There's a time and a place for Tylenol. My message to you is try not to overuse it.
