New Claims: Autism Linked to Acetaminophen Use During Pregnancy
September 23, 2025 - 03:22
The Trump administration is set to make controversial claims regarding the potential link between autism and the use of acetaminophen during pregnancy. President Trump, alongside Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is expected to suggest that pregnant women’s use of Tylenol may contribute to an increased risk of autism in their children. In a surprising turn, they are also anticipated to propose a cancer drug as a potential treatment for autism, stirring further debate within the medical community.
Experts have expressed concerns about these assertions, noting that there is currently little credible scientific evidence to support the proposed link between acetaminophen and autism. The implications of such claims could have significant repercussions for public health messaging and prenatal care practices. As discussions unfold, the scientific community is urged to approach these claims with caution, emphasizing the importance of evidence-based research in understanding autism and its complexities.
