Episode notes
Tylenol Link Lacks Definitive Causation
- The administration linked prenatal acetaminophen to autism but released no new definitive causal data.
- Saagar and Ryan stress sibling-controlled studies that largely negate a causal link and urge more research.
Consult Doctors Before Pain Relievers
- If pregnant, consult your clinician before using acetaminophen and use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration.
- Avoid switching to NSAIDs like ibuprofen or aspirin without medical guidance because they carry known fetal risks.
Autism Likely Multifactorial
- Autism incidence is likely multifactorial, including diagnostic changes and parental age shifts.
- Saagar highlights lifestyle, nutrition (e.g., folate), and environmental factors as plausible contributors worth studying.
