President Donald Trump announced Monday that Tylenol use during pregnancy could contribute to the development of autism in children. He also discussed a potential treatment for autism, the drug leucovorin. Autism rates have been steadily increasing, which scientists say could be attributed to increased access to diagnostic tools. An exact cause of autism has eluded the scientific community for decades. |
Tylenol disputes Trump claim: Tylenol parent company Kenvue issued a statement saying independent scientific research shows that acetaminophen − the active ingreient in Tylenol − is "the safest pain reliever option for pregnant women." |
Autism research: Decades of research has not yielded firm answers on what contributes to autism, but many scientists believe genetics play a role, possibly in combination with environmental influences. 👉 Follow the latest on Trump's announcement. | President Donald Trump, next to U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F.
