Acetaminophen use during pregnancy is not likely to raise the risk of having a child with autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability, according to a new study published Friday.

Researchers across Europe reexamined evidence from multiple studies investigating the link between these conditions and the use of paracetamol — called acetaminophen in the United States — and found that these purported associations fell apart after controlling for confounding factors.

    Did anyone believe it was ever linked to autism? I saw it as Trump buying a shitload of Tylenol shares and then doing his political dystopic dance to manipulate the stock market (yet again) and rake in more cash.

      In your mind he bought Tylenol shares, then tanked the value of those shares, then profit? I think in this case what is more likely is because RFK claimed he would find the cause for autism they had to find a scape goat.

        I’m sure you are correct. I was being a bit flippant but two (or more) things can be right at the same time.

          For sure they can. I’m sure there was some other way he could take advantage of it. Sounds like one of RFKs friends did.
