RFK Jr. and HHS to Explore Links Between Pregnancy Medications and Autism
TL;DR Summary
U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is reportedly planning to suggest a potential link between Tylenol use during pregnancy and autism, though no scientific evidence has been provided. Kenvue, the maker of Tylenol, denies any causal connection, and major health authorities support the safety of acetaminophen during pregnancy. The report also mentions exploring folinic acid as a treatment for autism symptoms. The announcement has caused Kenvue's stock to fall, and the topic remains controversial amid ongoing research and legal debates.
