Doctor challenges Trump administration's claims about acetaminophen and autism

Dr. Linda Eckert - Most of the research does not bear out that there's a causal relationship. Causal relationships are quite hard to prove, actually. And the research on Tylenol has been quite reassuring overall. And there was actually many studies, several great studies that have looked at this. And the most recent one that is a very powerful study was done in Sweden, where they looked at over 250,000 individuals. And they also were able to look at siblings, where people had environmental and sibling relationships, genetics in common.

The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine all have looked very extensively at the data. All have come out quite strongly reaffirming their recommendations that Tylenol really is the best choice for controlling pain and fever in pregnancy.
