Trump Blames Tylenol For Autism, Moms Bewildered

In a headline-grabbing move that might make you reach for the Pepto, the Trump administration asserted that taking acetaminophen—yes, that innocent supermarket staple known as Tylenol—during pregnancy could boost autism risk. This warning caused widespread eyebrow raising considering a majority of pregnant women rely on this over-the-counter hero to tackle those dreadful headaches and aches. The claim, venerably rooted in governmental advisory rather than blockbuster scientific consensus, races to upend prenatal care advice nationwide. As millions of moms stocked up on ginger tea instead, critics mulled the political timing and scientific frosting on this perplexing cake. Spoiler alert: no studies with a clearly stamped date or budget were publicly spotlighted.
