   The National Reyes Syndrome Foundation indicates that the danger is in   
   salicylates, such as asprin.  They give no indication that there is an   
   elevated risks general to all NSAIDS.  Furthermore, Advil is not mentioned   
   on their list of non pescription products.   
      
   I do not have advil on hand, so I cannot verify it's content.   
      
   Can you provide a reference for Advil's association?  I'd rather like to   
   read it...
