The Trump administration has announced a potential link between paracetamol (acetaminophen) and autism in pregnant women. A new study, conducted by researchers at the National Institutes of Health, examined data from over 10,000 women and found a statistically significant increase in autism diagnoses among those taking paracetamol during pregnancy. The study suggests a possible correlation, though researchers emphasize that further investigation is required to determine causality. The administration intends to issue public warnings advising pregnant women to limit their paracetamol intake.
