Baccarelli noted in the “competing interests” section of the research paper that he has served as an expert witness for plaintiffs in a case involving potential links between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and neurodevelopmental disorders.
Hey everyone - a new Andrew Wakefield just dropped!

The article shows more differentiation than the title. There must be literally hundreds or things you should be careful about during pregnancy; but after reading this article; and if I would be pregnant, I would use paracetamol.

Published by Harvard? I guess this is what you get when you shake down a university.

June? So when RFK promised to find the cause of autism?

It certainly got posted in the context of the current debate.

oh the Ahlquist et al population study with 2.5 million participants was marked “low quality” due to “exposure limitations”.
can someone explain to me how you limit exposure in a population study?

the drug is important for treating pain and fever during pregnancy, which can also harm the developing fetus. High fever can raise the risk of neural tube defects and preterm birth.
… uh huh, could, maybe, the correlation of Tylenol be the result of people taking it to treat symptoms of something else that is more strongly correlated?

We used the search term “ADHD AND acetaminophen.”
That was how the studies were selected… Lol. Real robust “research” there, guys.

That’s literally how you do review studies.
obviously publication bias exists, a study that shows nothing (good or bad) happening when a drug is used is less likely to get published, but that’s a broad problem.

Search for studies containing links between ADHD and Tylenol to determine if there’s a link between ADHD and Tylenol. P-hacking much? That is straight-up cherry-picking results to fit the hypothesis. 💩
