568: Does Tylenol cause autism?

NOV 25, 202528 MIN

Description

<p>The boys drink and review two imperial stouts, then discuss the possible relationship between Tylenol and autism. </p><p>RFK Jr. has announced a relationship between pregnant women taking Tylenol and autism in their children. </p><p>There is some evidence for that claim, but there are a lot of confounding issues as well. </p><p>Is autism really on the rise? It seems so, but some people say it&#39;s just that we&#39;re detecting it better these days -- although that doesn&#39;t seem to account for the severe cases, which are also supposed to be on the rise. </p><p>If it is on the rise, why? Is it something we&#39;re eating, something we&#39;re injecting into our bodies, or maybe the way we&#39;re cooking? </p><p>What do we do with all the anecdotal evidence from parents that their child&#39;s autism came on suddenly? </p><p>It seems as if the health establishment is not taking this as seriously as they ought to be. </p><p><br></p><p>πŸ“¬ Send us your thoughts: [email protected] </p><p>🌐 More episodes: pigweedandcrowhill.com</p><p>πŸ‘ Like, subscribe, and tell a friend</p>
