Such a bullshit. No one (pregnant or not and especially an associate professor) would "gobble" bottle of Tylenol even before their claim. Overdosing on it is not pretty.
Also whenever there's talk about Tylenol it reminds me of this:
https://youtube.com/shorts/IAra05kOzRk
If the video exists, I'm sure she made it when she already needed Tylenol (hello, eight months pregnant is hell on your body), and took the recommended dosage.
I could see myself filling a bottle of tylenol with tic tacs and trying to sleight of hand them into my mouth in a fistfull in such a way it looked like I ate a bunch, tbf. Y'know for the lolz.
Vanilla pudding in mayo jars.
Blue sport drink in index bottles.
this one is kinda gross
Chocolate cake in a diaper.Classics!
I would really think that after all these memes and making fun of Tylenol and pregnancy someone would do a TikTok of it, just because its trendy to oppose everything from them. There are too many idiots (okay the largest portion of them is on the MAGA side), but still...
alot of them are anti-vaxxers, or believe in pseudoscience like this.ant- Flouride crowd is a big thing right now.
To be fair, there is evidence of harm by fluoride. It's not as significant as they make it out to be though, and it potentially helps a lot of people. That said, I do somewhat agree with the stance. The US is (currently) a developed nation that has plenty of access to toothpaste with fluoride. Fluoride deficiency is not really a concern here. With that, and the harm it causes, I'm slightly in favor of its removal from water. However, it needs to be done in a way to prevent fear mongering and taking things beyond this.
