The use of acetaminophen in babies and in children would never have been approved if it had been tested using current safety standards, claims William Parker, Ph.D.
Parker, who is based in Durham, North Carolina, is an immunologist and biochemist. He conducted research and taught medical school students at Duke University for more than 25 years. He and his colleagues have been researching and writing about the effects of acetaminophen—which is the main ingredient in Tylenol—since 2015.
