Health experts across New York are disputing the Trump administration’s new warning linking acetaminophen use during pregnancy to autism, according to Spectrum News.
The administration announced a label change for Tylenol, citing studies that suggest a possible connection to neurodevelopmental disorders. But doctors say there’s no proof of a direct cause. State Health Commissioner Dr. James McDonald emphasized that large-scale studies show no solid link once other factors are considered.
Experts urge pregnant women to consult doctors, not politicians, for medical advice.
