Will Tylenol Sue Trump? #announcement

Many studies have looked for links between prenatal acetaminophen exposure and later neurodevelopmental outcomes (including autism). Some observational studies report small statistical associations, but those studies can’t prove cause-and-effect because other factors (maternal illness, genetics, or other environmental influences) can explain the link. High-quality reviews conclude the evidence is inconsistent and not sufficient to support a causal claim. In short: association ≠ causation. The balance of evidence and expert interpretation today is that we do not have proof acetaminophen taken as directed in pregnancy causes autism. What professional bodies say: Obstetrics organisations and regulators continue to advise that paracetamol is the preferred analgesic/antipyretic in pregnancy when needed, used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest time. ACOG (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists) and similar bodies affirm its role for treating fever and pain in pregnancy. National regulators in the UK (MHRA) and the NHS also state there’s no evidence paracetamol causes autism and that it remains the first-choice pain reliever in pregnancy. #trump #news #crazy
