Tylenol Dangers, Cayenne Pepper for Weight Loss, More!

January 19, 2019

Prescribed like candy, Tylenol - more dangerous than you know!

A number of non-peer-reviewed articles have been written and published on the web claiming that there is literally nothing to fear from acetaminophen during pregnancy.

There are two types of articles that fall into this category. First, reputable watchdog organizations have weighed in on the issue, declaring acetaminophen use during pregnancy and during childhood to be proven safe. In particular, the National Health Service of the UK and the Center for Accountability in Science have both strongly criticized the Spanish study from 2016 showing a link between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and ADHD/autism.

And... also affecting normal emotional response:

"Across two studies, we demonstrated that acetaminophen attenuates individuals' evaluations and emotional reactions to negative and positive stimuli alike.

These results build on recent psychological research illustrating that acetaminophen can blunt the intensity with which individuals experience negative events that originate from physical, social, or cognitive sources (DeWall et al., 2015; DeWall et al., 2010; Randles et al., 2013).

Further, these findings expand on the research to date to show that acetaminophen blunts positive evaluations in like fashion."

There are (as of January 2017) a total of 8 published studies evaluating the long terms effects on children of acetaminophen use during pregnancy or during childhood.

Two of these (one in 2014, one in 2016) were published in JAMA Pediatrics , one of the most highly respected pediatric journals. All studies point toward acetaminophen use being associated with long-term problems with neurological function .

A formal meta-analysis is not currently possible because of the varied outcome measures and study designs, but all 8 studies point in the same direction: Acetaminophen is neurotoxic to the developing brain .

The studies are not “cherry picked”, selecting only those which find an effect.

All studies point toward a neurotoxic effect of acetaminophen in the developing brain.

Cayenne Pepper for Weight Loss & Health

To add some kick to your health routine, try sipping a cup of cayenne pepper tea. Typically prepared with ground cayenne pepper, fresh lemon, and purified water, this spicy brew is said to stimulate your digestive system, shield your heart health, and support weight loss.

Some preliminary studies have shown that ingesting capsaicin may help with weight loss. For instance, a small study published in the journal Clinical Nutrition in 2009 found that a combination of capsaicin and green tea helped suppress hunger in healthy volunteers.

What’s more, laboratory research and tests in animals have demonstrated that consuming capsaicin could fight obesity by increasing your calorie-burning rate and promoting the breakdown of fat.

There’s also some preliminary evidence that following a capsaicin-rich diet may help protect against cardiovascular and metabolic issues like atherosclerosis, diabetes, and stroke.
