This hunt is not just an academic exercise. Tylenol is the No. 1 reason for liver failure in America today – not because people are knowingly taking an overdose, but because they are being unwittingly exposed to acetaminophen from a variety of sources over a long period of time. The Tylenol people have done a great job of slipping their product into a myriad of commonly used drugs.

The Most Common Pain Killer ... Is A Killer
Take a close look through your medicine cabinet. First look for all the obvious Tylenol medications – Tylenol, Tylenol PM, Tylenol Cough and Cold, acetaminophen (the generic name for Tylenol), etc. Next, look for any prescription pain medications you may have such as Lortab or Hydrocodone/APAP – the APAP means Tylenol has been added. Check cold medications – Nyquil, Alka-Seltzer Plus, St. Joseph Aspirin Free and Zicam, etc. Any drug that has APAP, cet, or acetam as part of the name probably contains Tylenol. Notice how many of your medications contain acetaminophen/Tylenol.

Everything you put in your mouth eventually finds it's way through the liver. This is why alot of times cancer reappears in the liver since it's so compromised from being exposed to things the human body really wasn't meant to ingest. Those cancer cells they missed when they removed a malignant tumor are still there swirling around looking for a vulerable place to wreak more havoc.

I stopped taking that crap years ago because it destroys your liver. As far as I am concerned its another big cover up by the FDA and drup companies. Ever notice when you get prescribed pain pills for some problem there always mixed with tylenol (the APAP suffix). Also my doctor told me Tylenol is the main reason for all liver problems in America.
