Tylenol may harm liver

First NSAIDs, now Tylenol.

From the LA Times:
"The highest recommended dose of Extra Strength Tylenol sharply increased liver
enzymes in healthy adults in a clinical study — an early sign of possible organ
damage.Although overdoses of Tylenol have been found to harm the liver, the
study published today in the Journal of the American Medical Assn. is the first
to spot hints of trouble in healthy people taking the pain reliever as
directed...."

It looks more and more like aspirin will be the pain killer of choice.
