Using acetaminophen during pregnancy may increase children’s autism and ADHD risk

What? No. Haven't you heard the guy shouting on the corner about government conspiracies? It's totally the vaccines.

Not at all the changing diagnostic criteria and better understanding of it. Totally the thing that everybody gets. That's why every single American is autistic.

 

It doesn't have side effects because it doesn't have primary effects.
You know what they call alternative/traditional medicine that works? Medicine.

 

Aside from all that, I find it odd that the study would advise careful use of acetaminophen instead of just using other pain relievers. It's not like it's all there is. We have naproxen sodium, ibuprofin, and asprin.

 

Did you know, using antibiotics makes birth control ineffective? Well nobody told my ex-wife,,, My parents and grandparents used Anacin for everything .

 

The consumer directed health media is as unreliable as horoscopes or celebrity testimonial. A reporter asks someone who is in his contacts list and if that someone claims riding green giraffes will cure hay-fever then that's what is published. The reporter doesn't have the background to understand/report there are no green giraffes, riding an animal has no biological process by which to affect a rider's immune system, or that hay-fever could mean 12 different things, not 1 thing.

 

Everyone should keep in mind the real danger with acetaminophen/Tylenol is that the normal dose (the dose recommended on the instructions on the bottle you are holding, not the same tablet number you normally use with another drug) is much closer to an over-dose, or a dose that will cause liver damage than almost any other drug you can buy over-the-counter. For aspirin, ibuprofen, etc you might need to take 8 TIMES the bottle's recommended dose to cause damage to an organ. With acetaminophen/Tylenol you might only need to take 2 or 4 tablets more in a 24 hour period than the bottle's instructions allow. I prefer aspirin, it's far older and it's harm is minor temporary damage to the stomach. But when I can't use aspirin I use acetaminophen/Tylenol. Taking too much Tylenol is much much much easier to do than with other OTC pain relievers, so don't take more than the bottle mentions. More is not better or safe. More is a path to needing a liver transplant. It's one of the most common causes for people needing liver transplant
