Interesting thing, people of Cuba cannot get Acetaminophen unless they have a prescription and it it not given to children or babies.

I need a study on this.

Wifey wouldnt take tylenol at all while pregnant because she was afraid of risks.

Interesting study. I am curious as to what follow up studies will show.

The problem is, they just surveyed moms on Tylenol use during pregnancy and then looked at the results in children.

So they are linking it to taking Tylenol instead of any underlying reason for needing the medication. Also, the children were lumped into vague categories based on frequency of their mom using the medication and not actual dosage.

I've had my kid chug acetaminophen when sick. No side effects.

The article covers prenatal exposure while your link is on childhood nutrition. I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the link to paracetemol as the research must start somewhere.

Autism sucks, so any potential links should be evaluated.

would really suck for pregnant women if a solid link was discovered. Not many good options.

Agreed. Most pregnant ladies, including my wife, that I know wouldn't take any OTC pain relievers. I know our OB recommended not taking them.
