🇺🇸 White House prepares bombshell on Tylenol and autism According to The Washington Post, the US administration is preparing to announce a possible link between taking Tylenol (paracetamol) during early pregnancy and an increased risk of autism in children. The move is based on research from Harvard and Mount Sinai Hospital suggesting such a connection. The Department of Health plans to warn women against using Tylenol in early pregnancy. In addition, authorities intend to promote Leucovorin (calcium folinate) as a potential treatment for autism. The drug is normally used to counteract side effects of certain medications and to treat vitamin B9 deficiency. Early studies have shown improvements in speech and comprehension among children with ASD, but the scientific community remains divided on its effectiveness.
