"concerns regarding uncontrolled confounding remain"Nice to see you are still falling right in step with the left.
FACT: Evidence suggests acetaminophen use in pregnant women, especially late in pregnancy, may cause long-term neurological effects in their children.
- Large-scale cohort studies — including the Nurses’ Health Study II and the Boston Birth Cohort — report associations between in utero exposure and later diagnoses of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
"prenatal acetaminophen exposure may influence neurodevelopment"
"(8.1%) in the cohort had been diagnosed with ADHD as reported by the mothers"
"While this association warrants caution, untreated maternal fever and pain pose risks such as neural tube defects and preterm birth, necessitating a balanced approach. We recommend judicious acetaminophen use—lowest effective dose, shortest duration—under medical guidance, tailored to individual risk–benefit assessments, rather than a broad limitation."
- Scientists have proposed biological mechanisms linking prenatal acetaminophen exposure to altered brain development and adverse birth outcomes.
- Andrea Baccarelli, M.D., Ph.D., Dean of the Faculty, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health: “Colleagues and I recently conducted a rigorous review, funded by a grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), of the potential risks of acetaminophen use during pregnancy… We found evidence of an association between exposure to acetaminophen during pregnancy and increased incidence of neurodevelopmental disorders in children.”
Using acetaminophen during pregnancy may increase children’s autism and ADHD risk
- Harvard University: Using acetaminophen during pregnancy may increase children’s autism and ADHD risk
"may increase a child's risk for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or autism spectrum disorder"
- Johns Hopkins University: Taking Tylenol during pregnancy associated with elevated risks for autism, ADHD
- Mount Sinai: Mount Sinai Study Supports Evidence That Prenatal Acetaminophen Use May Be Linked to Increased Risk of Autism and ADHD
Mount Sinai Study Supports Evidence That Prenatal Acetaminophen Use May Be Linked to Increased Risk of Autism and ADHD
"research suggests that prenatal exposure to APAP might alter fetal development, which could increase the risks of some neurodevelopmental, reproductive and urogenital disorders"
- In 2021, an international consensus statement highlighted “a call for precautionary action,” recommending that pregnant women “minimize exposure” to acetaminophen “by using the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time.”
So Trump tells you that acetaminophen causes autism, and you accept it as fact. Not only accept it, but try to defend it with "may", "might" and "could".
Yet every anatomy textbook going back 100+ years tells you there are nerves in bone, but you consider that to be an unproved theory.
Wow.
