Large Review Finds No Link Between Pregnancy Tylenol Use and Autism

A European-led analysis of 43 high-quality studies, including sibling comparisons, finds no evidence that acetaminophen (Tylenol/paracetamol) use during pregnancy increases the risk of autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability in children, even after accounting for biases. The findings support current medical guidance that taking acetaminophen as directed is safe in pregnancy, undermining claims by Trump and RFK Jr. that linked Tylenol to autism.

Reevaluating Antidepressant Withdrawal Risks and Long-Term Effects

A new review downplays the severity of antidepressant withdrawal effects, relying on short-term, industry-funded studies, despite evidence showing long-term users face significant, often severe, withdrawal symptoms that can last for months, highlighting a potential underestimation of the risks associated with long-term antidepressant use.

"Comprehensive Review Links Ultra-Processed Foods to 32 Health Issues: What You Need to Understand"

A review of research involving nearly 10 million people has found a direct link between consuming ultra-processed foods and over 30 health conditions, including heart disease, anxiety, and early death. These foods, which make up a significant portion of daily energy intake in the U.S., are associated with increased risks of cardiovascular disease, anxiety, diabetes, and obesity. The study's findings have prompted calls for U.N. agencies and member states to develop a framework on ultra-processed foods, similar to a treaty on tobacco control, and may lead to dietary guidelines in the U.S. warning against their consumption.
