And keep in mind...
...that we take a heck of a lot of other meds and the liver has to deal with them and their by-products as well.
Acetaminophen is very dangerous both because it is hidden as noted and because there is such a small difference between the effective dose and a dangeous one. And no one has ever tested it specifically on PWP, either.
Ya gotta do your homework on ever' blamed thing with PD. At the very least, google any new med/herb/supplement along with "danger" and look for red flags. And even then start slow.
