Acetaminophen linked to ADHD is autism next?


While I think there are alternate explanations for the link between acetaminophen and ADHD, the information is out there. I imagine that a link between acetaminophen and autism is next, either in utero or during early childhood, since ADHD is an autism spectrum disorder. The parents groups will demand black box warning, and flog the companies and the FDA, but since acetaminophen is in everything and is perceived as safer for children, it is going to be hard find a replacement for pain and fever relief in kids

If you are a lawyer, this could be an opportunity for the kind of class action that buys the lawyers beach houses in Maui, next to Oprah.
