Studies suggest a possible link between Tylenol (Paracetamol) use during pregnancy and autism risk. Pregnant women are advised to avoid it unless absolutely necessary and only under medical guidance. |

Because a man without a medical or research based degree, who was known to use Heroin for years, who also uses steroids and a colourant to make himself look tanned said so. A man who was infected with a brain worm.

motymop:autism for the most part is evident doesn’t need data. In most schools in a class of 40 students people with learning disabilities/autism and the likes no dey pay 1-2 🥱 |

Commentor:Well this is what harvard school of public health wrote in an article in August Using acetaminophen aka paracetamol during pregnancy may increase children’s autism and ADHD risk When children are exposed to acetaminophen also known by the brand name Tylenol or as paracetamol during pregnancy, they may be more likely to develop neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) including autism and ADHD, according to a new study. https://hsph.harvard.edu/news/using-acetaminophen-during-pregnancy-may-increase-childrens-autism-and-adhd-risk/

erad:signs you dont read or do any research...the research was published long before Donald trump went public about it. |
| Re: Taking Paracetamol During Pregnancy Leads To Autism In Babies by erad(m): 12:28pm On Sep 23, 2025 |
motymop:Lol... But you never posted it since till now. Also research is wide and different. There are even more researches that have found no link between autism and acetaminophen. Just because one research result supports whatever you're peddling does not make it superior to others. Harvard did a research, please present their result and the scientific way they reached the conclusion that acetaminophen leads to autism. No research ever reaches such irrefutable conclusion especially when there's no direct link between cause and effect. What they said is it increases the risk, thats widely different from it leading to. So before you come at me with jumble science, understand it first. |

motymop:Dude, are you serious? Many pharma don't recommend pregnant women using their products because there isn't enough data to determine if it will affect them or the baby, not because there is proof that it will affect them. That is a cavaet. Get the difference. |
| Re: Taking Paracetamol During Pregnancy Leads To Autism In Babies by motymop(op): 7:48pm On Sep 24, 2025 |
erad:Jesus christ!!!!! you claim there arent no proof, so if there are no proof why are recommending pregant women not using their product ![]() |
| Re: Taking Paracetamol During Pregnancy Leads To Autism In Babies by erad(m): 8:03pm On Sep 24, 2025 |
motymop:Guy, I really want to believe you genuinely don't understand how it works. I'll give you an illustration. I'm a big pharma and I do all my trials and all and release a drug. Now I know my drug is safe, definitely not 100% safe even for normal people because there will be people that will have side effects. I write all possible side effects and put a disclaimer. Part of the disclaimer is also that it's not recommended for pregnant women, not because there's any direct proof that it will harm the baby but because if there's any side effect, it might not affect the mother only plus the mother might even use something else with it that may cause a reaction. Tylenol wrote that disclaimer with no idea about autism or their drug having a possible link to autism. They wrote it to be legally protected in case a mother has a side effect that affects the baby. Every drug does the same especially drugs specifically for pregnanct women and even on those, they'll write that if you feel funny after using it, you should visit your doctor immediately. It's a legal safety net for them. |
