The Trump administration has issued a statement suggesting a potential connection between the use of Tylenol (acetaminophen) during pregnancy and an increase in autism cases in the United States. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has advocated for a review of existing research into the topic. The administration’s statement highlights concerns about a recent surge in reported autism diagnoses. While experts generally dismiss the claim as unproven, the administration has requested further investigation into the potential correlation. Current research does not support a definitive causal link.
