Many of the dear folks with whom we work have lived in pain for years. As a result, over-the-counter meds can play a frequent role in our lives. . . .
While Tylenol certainly can be helpful, we need to remember to exercise caution when using over-the-counter medications.
Last year, the FDA linked normal acetaminophin use to liver damage and pushed for stronger warnings and stricter dose limits for drugs that, like Tylenol, contain acetaminophen.
When Antonio Benedi (right) of Springfield, Va., felt a case of the flu coming on one weekend in February 1993, he did what millions of others do — he reached for a common over-the-counter pain medication. “I was taking Tylenol like I was supposed to, by the label,” he said.

Most of us spend the winter trying to stay warm, but a little bit of exposure to cold may not be such a bad thing. There are two types of fat in the human body: white fat and brown fat. Brown fat is the heat-producing, calorie-burning fat that babies need to regulate their body temperatures. Most of it disappears with age, but adults retain some brown fat. Dutch researchers reported findings last year that showed that moderately cool temperatures of 61° F activated brown fat in 23 of 24 study volunteers. This is a good thing because brown fat burns calories more efficiently than white fat, and so may help control weight.
