I can tell you from direct experience that it is not good. While in college, one of my projects was to design a pediatric raspberry-flavored paracetamol syrup, and after doing taste tests, I got sooooo sick I couldn’t get out of bed for days. Admittedly, all allopathic medicines really do a number on me, but this was proof for me that this medication is not as innocuous as they claim it is.

@apapacharte I can’t believe they actually made you conduct taste tests!

@karina Not exactly sure if they ‘required” me to do taste tests, but the project was about formulating a pediatric syrup that would taste good, so I had to test it to make sure I got a “good grade”, thinking it was a harmless product.
