Tylenol link to Autism

Over 50 million Americans use acetaminophen-containing medications each week.

If there really is a connection to autism don’t you think that they would have found it before now? If it did have the effect that they said it does don’t you think it would have other effects besides just autism?

Scientists will have to do a great more research before anyone can say that acetaminophen has an effect on autism development during pregnancy.

Having the government weigh in is just not warranted at this time and the fact that they are despite the lack of concrete evidence is troublesome at best and criminal at worst.

you knew that .. right??????


don't bother with the "lacks context" nonsense defense. the article is jacking themselves off to defend it. they said this



The statement continued, “Acetaminophen is the safest pain reliever option for pregnant women as needed throughout their entire pregnancy,” adding that “We recommend pregnant women do not take any over-the-counter medication, including acetaminophen, without talking to their doctor first.”


CYA so they aren't libel .. blame it on the Doctor who listened to us! but not us!!!!

Did they receive money from the manufacturers?

Some items you may want to reflect on in your spare time, with yourself.

Setting those aside: Please explain the meteoric rise of Autism diagnoses in recent times.

While you're looking: How would you explain the obesity rates in younger folks?

It's as much about asking the "right" questions up front, as it is diligently searching for answers.

That's why most any drug that comes out is typically delayed for pregnant women. Similar for children. They are separate group studies from regular adults.

I would posit that they need to further subdivide the study groups by Democrat and Republican. This could save the manufacturers tons-o-money, as they could simply tell the Dems that it's good for them and be believed, whereas, they would have to spend time and money to prove it for the Republicans.

In ironic essence; the Dems rushing out to gobble it all down on command, could end up being the Guinea pigs and funding the safety studies for the rest of us. Seemed to work with the covid to some extent.

Turns out they did have some clues to follow. Oddly enough, Autism, ADHD, as well as a host of other maladies, has sky rocketed since then.

Prenatal Exposure to Acetaminophen and Risk for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Autistic Spectrum Disorder: A Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis, and Meta-Regression Analysis of Cohort Studies. Am J Epidemiol.

I'll highlight a couple items for the TL;DR crew.

Abstract
Acetaminophen is the analgesic and antipyretic most commonly used during pregnancy. Evidence of neurodisruptive properties is accumulating. Therefore, we sought to evaluate the risk for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) in the offspring of women exposed to acetaminophen during pregnancy. We searched MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane databases for relevant studies up to January 2017. Data were independently extracted and assessed by 2 researchers. Seven eligible retrospective cohorts included 132,738 mother-child pairs, with follow-up periods ranging from 3 to 11 years. The pooled risk ratio for ADHD was 1.34 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.21, 1.47; I2 = 72%); for ASD, the risk ratio was 1.19 (95% CI: 1.14, 1.25; I2 = 14%), and for hyperactivity symptoms, it was 1.24 (95% CI: 1.04, 1.43; I2 = 93%). In meta-regression analysis, the association between exposure and ADHD increased with the child's age upon follow-up (β = 0.03, 95% CI: 0.00, 0.07) and with the mean duration of exposure (β = 0.00, 95% CI: 0.00, 0.01). The available data is of observational nature only. Studies differed widely in exposure and outcome assessment. Acetaminophen use during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk for ADHD, ASD, and hyperactivity symptoms. These findings are concerning; however, results should be interpreted with caution given that the available evidence consists of observational studies and is susceptible to several potential sources of bias.

Yet, some still wonder why the manufacturer wouldn't recommend it for pregnant women (or is it a birthing person with a vag now-a-days)?!?

In other words, pretty much every farmer in the United States has a better understanding.

Even a relative of mine who was a rancher? He use to treat himself with the veterinarian pharmaceuticals. Even know one guy that runs cattle that on his insurance he has listed his veterinarian as his primary care doctor.

Guess those farmers do have a better understanding

Maybe you should be highlighting this instead.

What’s the problem with letting people know that some studies show possible problems in pregnant women? It’s not like they’re banning it, a woman can weigh the risks and do what she thinks is right for her. There’s substitutes (ibuprofen, naproxen) that a woman may choose to use instead if she wants. Letting the public know is responsible governance. If they didn’t, and the studies leaked, the same people who are now screaming about Trump putting the information out there would be inflamed (pun intended) that he didn’t.
