A new review of studies has found that taking Tylenol during pregnancy doesn’t up the risk of autism, ADHD, or intellectual disabilities, adding to the growing body of research refuting claims made by the Trump administration. President Trump last year promoted unproven ties between the painkiller and autism, telling pregnant women: « Don’t take Tylenol. » The latest research review, however, published Friday in The Lancet Obstetrics, Gynecology & Women’s Health, looked at 43 studies and concluded that the most rigorous ones, like those that compare siblings, provide strong evidence that taking the drug commonly known as paracetamol outside of the US doesn’t cause autism, ADHD, or intellectual disabilities, per the AP.
