New Research Debunks Trump's Autism-Tylenol Link Claims
A new review of studies has found no increased risk of autism, ADHD, or intellectual disabilities in children born to mothers who took Tylenol during pregnancy. The study, published in The Lancet Obstetrics, Gynecology & Women’s Health, contradicts claims made by the Trump administration that taking Tylenol during pregnancy increases the risk of these conditions.
The review of 43 studies analyzed data from some of the most rigorous research, including those that compared siblings to account for genetic factors. These findings suggest that Tylenol does not pose a significant risk to fetal development and that it can be safely used in pregnant women.
Previous studies have yielded mixed results, with some suggesting a potential link between Tylenol use during pregnancy and autism or ADHD. However, more recent research has failed to find any conclusive evidence of an association. The latest review reinforces these findings, emphasizing the importance of considering genetics as the primary risk factor for autism.
The Trump administration's claims about Tylenol's safety during pregnancy have been widely criticized by health experts, who argue that only a small fraction of studies focus on autism and that associations do not necessarily prove cause and effect. In fact, some researchers have pointed out that recalling past medication use can be prone to bias, which can affect study outcomes.
The latest research highlights the need for more robust studies that consider the complex factors influencing fetal development during pregnancy. While some may argue that limiting Tylenol use could help prevent potential risks, experts caution against this approach, citing the well-established dangers of untreated fever and infection in pregnant women.
In conclusion, the latest review provides reassuring evidence that Tylenol can be safely used by pregnant women to manage pain and fever, without increasing the risk of autism or other neurological disorders.

, but it's not like this was a surprise to most people who actually know how science works 
. I mean, come on, recalling medication use can be super prone to bias and stuff... but at the same time, it's good that there's more evidence out now to set the record straight 
. And yeah, let's not forget about those untreated fever and infections in pregnant women – that's still a huge risk 
. Anyway, I'm just happy we can finally move on from all that drama...
. I mean, it's just common sense, right? We all know taking meds during preggo is supposed to be okay as long as your doctor says so 
. It's crazy how some politicians would spread rumors like that and then sit back and watch people freak out over nothing 
. Like, what's the point of even doing a study if you're just gonna stir up drama? 
I'm glad they finally cleared this up. It's ridiculous how some politicians would spread misinformation like this. I mean, come on, 43 studies? That's a lot of evidence to dismiss just because it doesn't fit your narrative. 
! It's like, come on guys, do your own science before spreading misinformation 
. And yeah, it makes total sense that genetics are the primary risk factor for autism - I mean, our genes play a huge role in how we develop, don't they? 
.
!
.
. We can enjoy our Tylenol and ibuprofen without fear of harming our little ones 
I mean, it's about time someone finally debunked those Trump admin claims... like they were ever based on actual science anyway 
. Still, I'm glad these researchers did their due diligence and gave us some solid info on fetal development... now let's get back to basics: fever = bad news for pregnant women 
I'm glad the experts are speaking out and saying that fever and infection are way more serious risks than some medications. It's always good to have some facts on our side when it comes to health stuff! 
my friend who had high fever in her first trimester still turned out fine tho so i guess some moms just have to use their discretion and consult a doc, you feel? 
. Like what's next? Saying that vaccines cause cancer and then having a study come along saying "oh nope, not so much"? 
We need more than just a bunch of mixed results to convince me that this is safe. Can we at least get some more info on what constitutes "rigorous research"? 
. But honestly, it's good to know that it's been debunked and we can breathe a sigh of relief. 
I mean, I get why some people were worried, but it just goes to show how important it is to have reliable research and not spread misinformation 
. It's also crazy how the Trump admin was spreading this stuff without any solid evidence... anywayz, let's all celebrate safe medication use during pregnancy! 
. so yeah, i'm all for people using tylenol without guilt 
so yeah let's just make sure we keep using Tylenol for what it was made for - managing pain and fever, not causing autism
