New research bolsters evidence that Tylenol doesn't raise the risk of autism despite Trump's claims

A new review of studies has found that taking Tylenol during pregnancy doesn’t increase the risk of autism, ADHD or intellectual disabilities. The latest work adds to the growing body of research refuting claims made by the Trump administration last year when the president promoted unproven ties between the painkiller and autism. The latest research review published Friday looked at 43 studies and concluded that the most rigorous ones provide strong evidence otherwise. Some previous studies have raised the possibility of a link between autism risk and using acetaminophen during pregnancy. But more haven’t found a connection.
