I think this is really important. Brand name drugs and generics are supposed to have the same active ingredients, but who decides which ingredients are "active". One of the reasons the same drug might taste different is because of different manufacturers. Brand name Tylenol has ingredients that are "inactive", but also curiously proprietary and not found in the generics. For example, Pregelatinized starch and Povidone (polyvinylpyrrolidone) are usually not found in generics. Why would you make filler ingredients proprietary? I've tried both name brand and generics, and you can tell the difference, both in the taste as well as the texture of the tablets. The name brand Tylenol has a more satisfying crunch to it, but also the tastes more like chemicals.
President Trump is very smart. If the problem was Acetaminophen, he would have just said so, but he didn't. He specifically said "Tylenol". And further, aligns with the Q clock post from 2020: "Simple Logic answers the question".
Doctors have always told me about the importance of chewing food. Why would pills be any different? Chewing keeps them from getting stuck in your throat. I just wish they made them a little more palatable, some medications taste awful. Top of the list goes to Mucinex, absolutely horrible taste. I've licked 9v batteries that tasted better.
It's only in the USA which uses the name acetominophen and the drug is called paracetamol in the rest of the world. Most or all of it is manufactured in India. Although it is a common and cheap painkiller it is toxic to the liver in overdose and will kill you, although not immediately it lingers on for a few days during which you feel fine although it has already wrecked your liver function.
A lot of people died from deliberate overdose where they did not actually mean to commit suicide just attract attention/drama. There is an antidote methionine and for a while there was a brand "Paradote" which had the antidote pre-mixed with the drug. NAC (n-acetyl-cysteine) is also an antidote.
The foul taste with some brands is deliberate to counter against toddlers finding unsecured tablets and eating them as candy.
Eventually we (UK) settled for restricting sales - the most you can buy at one purchase is up to 2x 16-packs of 500mg tabs. This is useless against anyone determined to use them for suicide but predictably it enabled manufacturers to jack up the price; the new legally-compliant packs are far more expensive than the old 100-tablet packs.
As for autism I have no clue. I hope blaming it on paracetamol is not a tactic to deflect from the real cause whatever that might be vaxx or fluoride or whatever else.
So why hasn't the rest of the world the same incidence of autism as in the USA if paracetamol is so available elsewhere anyway? Simple logiv
Very good point. Maybe the rest of world do have similar incidence of autism?
Here in UK autism is alleged to be rocketing same as in US. The figures are difficult to understand because autism is recorded in the same bucket as other related conditions such as ADHD and broadly published as "Special Educational Needs" (SEN).
Also the statistics are distorted because all parents on welfare try hard to get their kids diagnosed with some kind of SEN (even if there is nothing wrong with the kid) because they then get significantly increased welfare payments per child, also the local government has a legal responsibility to give them specialised schooling which usually means the kids get free personalised transport (taxis mostly) to school.
Over 50% of our working age adults are on welfare! If you can swing it right then the benefit payments for a family provide a greater income for them than a working family on median wage.
Maybe worth having a check to see if similar scam is twisting the autism numbers in the USA.
Aren't vaccines also super common in the rest of the world?
Not like ehere
some of the time release meds that is a Strick no no.
You mean like the doctors telling us we needed to get Covid jabbed? Or the doctors putting people on statins that are horrible for you and make the problem worse? Or the ones getting kickbacks from performing unnecessary procedures?
Saying “doctors have always told me” unironically after everything we’ve learned is comical to say the least.
