Donald Trump 'to link paracetamol use to autism'
[Trump is reportedly expected to claim there is a link between the use of paracetamol in pregnancy and the development of autism - but what does the evidence say? Americans consume more than 40% of all the world's paracetamol, spending in excess of $4bn a year on products containing acetaminophen (as it is known in America - or by its leading brand name, Tylenol). Autism rates in the US are also on the rise - going up from about one in 150 children in the year 2000, to around one in 30 today. There have also been a number of well-publicised studies suggesting a correlation between mothers who took paracetamol during pregnancy and the birth of a child with autism or other neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD. So surely something must be going on?] https://news.sky.com/story/donald-tr...-says-13436398 Last edited by arista; Yesterday at 07:28 PM. |

All hail the Moyesiah

I heard him randomly start going on about this for ages during his tribute to Charlie Kirk last night
Certainly an interesting theory. The science might not be conclusive about it but people rarely need paracetamol so maybe it's good to challenge it's widespread use |

The Tylenol manufacturer is mad. Oh no. I am here for when all of the media suddenly become rabid supporters of the pharmaceutical industry.
The only thing I took during pregnancy was Unisom for morning sickness and prenatal vitamins. I even cut caffeine. My OB got mad because I wouldn't take anything for my symptoms during a URI lol. Most everything here is labeled not widely tested for safety during pregnancy anyway so technically it's advised to avoid it by the manufacturer. So it might make sense why a lot of people might be taking Tylenol more often than they should especially if they are told the baby may not tolerate anything else. (I believe it is on the safe list.) Just a thought.

Does he have any evidence on the link? I’ve not followed it live to know what he presented.

I dont believe he presented evidence per se, apart from the Amish dont have Autism, then he shoved Robert Kennedy forward to speak and he is difficult to understand, I think most women avoid all types of drugs in pregnancy, not too many are going to be taking parcetomol on a regular basis

There were some doctors who spoke and some Moms who mostly just seemed to be there to praise Trump for trying but I am of the mind it needs more than just talk to be proven. I am sure there a lot of things we consume that can be problematic, but sifting through any crazy to find a solid consensus needs time...

This idiot speaks, and people just go along with whatever nonsense he spouts. Honestly, he's never even coherent. There are zero links between tylonol and autism. None.
No amount of couching this BS with per se, will ever make folks just point out the fact that the emperor, is in fact, stark bollock naked. Quote:
