Trump admin links autism to acetaminophen use during pregnancy - CNN



President Donald Trump announced Monday that the US Food and Drug Administration will be notifying physicians that the use of acetaminophen during pregnancy “can be associated with a very increased risk of autism.” “They are strongly recommending that women limit Tylenol use during pregnancy unless medically necessary,” he said. Trump said women should not use it during pregnancy “unless medically necessary” such as fever.

However, experts say autism is caused by multiple factors, and the science concerning the connection between Tylenol use during pregnancy and autism is not settled.
