Acetaminophen linked to autism
Quote:
Acetaminophen has been coming under increased scrutiny from the scientific community for a variety of possible side effects, including a recent study about its effect on empathy. Now, new research comes out that shows a possible relationship of acetaminophen use by pregnant women to autism spectrum and hyperactivity symptoms in their children.
Acetaminophen is used as an ingredient in over 600 medications like Tylenol or Paracetamol and is commonly used during pregnancy (taken by around 65% of expectant mothers in the U.S.) The study by Spanish scientists found that its use was linked to an increase of 2 clinical autism spectrum symptoms in boys and an increase of 30% in the risk for attention deficit symptoms for both boys and girls.
