A new review of more than 40 existing studies into acetaminophen, or Tylenol, published Friday by the medical journal The Lancet, concludes there was no link between using Tylenol during pregnancy and later cases of autism, ADHD and intellectual disabilities in children. President Trump has urged pregnant women not to take the drug, claiming otherwise.

Pregnant women with higher BPA levels in their urine are six times more likely to have a child diagnosed with autism by age 11 And this isn't an isolated finding Multiple studies link BPA exposure to disrupted hormonal signaling critical for proper brain development Perhaps even more concerning, children with autism also have up to 15x higher urinary BPA levels, suggesting impaired BPA excretion could amplify the risk Taken together, the evidence strongly suggests BPA exposure is a major neurodevelopmental concern

President Trump has warned that pregnant women should not take Tylenol, claiming that acetaminophen use during pregnancy increases the chance of autism. But GOP Sen. Bill Cassidy, a doctor, disputes any linkage. “I'm going to go where the evidence takes me,” he says, explaining, “The best evidence is that there is no relationship” between Tylenol and autism. “By the way, if you have a high fever during pregnancy, that may be a risk for autism,” Cassidy adds. (Acetaminophen is commonly used to curb high fevers during pregnancy.)

Trump addressed the potential link between Tylenol use during pregnancy and autism risk, aligning with RFK Jr.'s long-standing advocacy for reevaluating common medications. Despite Tylenol's safety claims, this discussion underscores the importance of RFK Jr.'s push for deeper scientific scrutiny. Are we finally prioritizing public health over corporate interests?

Pregnant women with higher BPA levels in their urine are six times more likely to have a child diagnosed with autism by age 11 This isn’t an isolated finding—multiple studies link BPA exposure to neurodevelopmental disorders like ADHD and anxiety Even more concerning, children with autism have been found to have up to 15 times higher urinary BPA levels, suggesting they may struggle to excrete it The science is clear: BPA disrupts hormonal balance in the developing brain, and the consequences could be lifelong

Trump declares war on paracetamol, linking it to autism The U.S. president claimed that taking paracetamol during pregnancy could be connected to rising autism rates. Speaking to supporters, he said that the Amish “don’t have autism,” which he tied to their refusal to use the painkiller Tylenol. According to Trump, taking the drug is “bad,” and he urged people to “stay away from it.” He also compared the situation to Cuba, where, he argued, “there’s no money for the drug, and therefore no autism.” U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said the government will continue seeking answers for families affected by autism. Scientists stress that the causes of rising autism diagnoses remain unclear. Some point to improved diagnostics and awareness, while others cite additional factors — genetics, environment, and lifestyle. The FDA is set to issue a notice to doctors stating that acetaminophen use during pregnancy “may be linked to a significantly increased risk of autism.”

After years of scientific research, no study has shown that acetaminophen, the main ingredient in Tylenol, causes autism. The Wall Street Journal recently reported that Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to announce that the use of Tylenol during pregnancy "is potentially linked to autism." Yet, while some scientific research shows an association between Tylenol use during pregnancy and autism, there's also scientific research that shows no association between the two. An "association" is also not the same as "causation." In other words, research showing an association between Tylenol use during pregnancy and autism does not mean one caused the other. Meanwhile, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine both say that acetaminophen is a safe way to treat pain and fever when used in moderation and in consultation with a physician during pregnancy.
