Trump admin announces Tylenol could pose increased risk of autism if used during pregnancy
Critics in the mainstream media have denounced the president's declaration as 'dangerous'.
On Tuesday's live stream, Tamara Ugolini and Lise Merle reacted to President Trump announcing his administration has established a possible link between Tylenol and autism.
President Trump highlighted the potential link between prenatal acetaminophen use (the active ingredient in Tylenol) and increased autism risk during a press conference earlier this week.
Several public officials in Canada, like B.C.'s minister of health, Josie Osborne, condemned the move as following "junk science".
"Misleading families is dangerous. Science matters. Evidence matters. People deserve better than conspiracy theories," wrote Osborne on social media.
"As BC’s Minister of Health, I look south with dismay and concern," she continued.
In swooped the Canadian state broadcaster and its squad of TV doctors to reassure the public that Tylenol remains "safe," swiftly dismissing Trump's claims.

Health Canada has also pushed back against the Trump administration's claims about Tylenol use during pregnancy.
"There is no conclusive evidence that using acetaminophen as directed during pregnancy causes autism or other neurodevelopmental disorders," the agency stated on Wednesday.
Health Canada claims its advice on Tylenol usage stems from "robust, rigorous assessments of the available scientific evidence," according to the CBC.
The Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada also posted a message on its website asserting that current evidence does not support the claim that Tylenol use during pregnancy leads to neurodevelopmental disorders.

Harry Pollett commented 2025-09-26 19:02:56 -0400Dear Fran G. You’re right. You can commit suicide if you overdose on Tylenol. It has to be a significant overdose if Tylenol. There is no reason to take that large a dose unless you want to die. That’s true of many drugs. However, in sensible doses it can relieve a headache and many other types of pain. The fact that Tylenol was on the market for 20 years before the sudden spike in the incidence of autism suggest to me that Tylenol is not causing autism. It makes sense to look for another cause. Ultrasound started to be used in the late 60’s and the incidence of autism increased at the same rate as the use of ultrasound in pregnancy seems to me to be highly suspicious. -

Harry Pollett commented 2025-09-26 14:30:09 -0400Tylenol was put on the US market in 1951. Until 1970 autism was a very rare disease. As far as I know, Tylenol was not reformulated in 1970. Ultrasound during pregnancy was introduced in the late 60’s, but did not become common until the 70’s. Which makes the most sense?
