My mother recently passed away from an apparent heart attack, although the coronor choose not to do an autopsy at our request. My aunt was amazed at the number of tylenol bottles my mother had in her bedroom drawer, at least five. I recently had a conversation with a gentleman that mentioned the possible deadly effects of tylenol, so I then started researching the web. It seems that tylenol has questionable serious effects, which we are not being made aware of. I wonder now how many deaths of people my mother’s age (79)are conviently listed as having died of a heart attack instead of a possible toxic dose of tylenol. Maybe it is time to take tylenol off the shelves.

I think that Tylenol can be very deadly, but how much does it take for you to die
