Acetaminophen use during pregnancy is not likely to raise the risk of having a child with autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability, according to a new study published Friday.

Researchers across Europe reexamined evidence from multiple studies investigating the link between these conditions and the use of paracetamol — called acetaminophen in the United States — and found that these purported associations fell apart after controlling for confounding factors.

    It’s a shame how the wretched US-regime has completely destroyed even such important organizations as the CDC. I recently talked about this with some old friends: All of them are specialists or senior physicians in hospitals in Switzerland, Germany, and Spain—and they all agreed: The CDC can no longer be taken seriously, as virtually all competent medical professionals have been dismissed. This is a huge loss that is costing many lives, and not just in the US.

    And why all this? Just because of the blatant idiocy of this corrupt regime, which acts beyond all reason. Their actions are truly a crime against the whole world.

    How about Ibuprofen? That is the one the doctors tell women to avoid when pregnant.

    Doesn’t matter what studies say. The US is controlled by rumors and fake news now.

    The only thing that matters to the people in charge is constant misinformation and distrust.

    It actually helps their cause that there is a new study now - according to their disinformation machine this is just another “opinion” and proves their point.

    It was already disproven the second it was claimed, by being made up with no credible data or research

    Harmless painkiller doesn’t cause autism as expected. Wow! It’s a shame that this has to be news. Next week “Fruit consumed during pregnancy doesn’t cause autism”

    If autism has increased over the past 70 years, a more likely culprit would be higher sugar consumption.
    In many ways sugar acts as alcohol in our metabolism, and we know with certainty that excessive alcohol during pregnancy is a significant risk factor for the mental health of babies.
