Acetaminophen, Tylenol, Is Safe During Pregnancy: Two recent studies indicate this medication's safety if taken in moderation. It is the safest med that moderates fevers. #acetaminophen #tylenol #pregnancy #pain #fever #birthdefects

Howard G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "Acetaminophen, Tylenol, Is Safe During Pregnancy Vidcast: Pregnancy is a blessed event, but it is accompanied by discomfort and, at times, outright pain. The golden rule during these 9 months is to avoid all but absolutely necessary medications. Over the years, the pain and fever medication of choice has been acetaminophen, better known as the brand Tylenol. Now, some government officials are warning that acetaminophen during pregnancy might be linked to the later development of neurodevelopmental disorders including autism and autism spectrum disorders. Let’s review what we do know about this issue. In 2024, epidemiologists, neonatologists, and obstetrician-gynecologists at Sweden’s famed Karolinska Institute published a study of nearly 2.5 million Swedish mothers, children and their siblings in the Journal of the American Medical Association or JAMA. It failed to show any statistically significant increased risk for autism, ADHD-hyperactivity, or intellectual disability associated with acetaminophen use during pregnancy once familial-genetic and shared environmental factors were properly factored. This year, public health researchers from New York’s Mount Sinai Medical Center, the University of Southern California, The University of Massachusetts, and Harvard’s School of Public Health published their meta-analysis of 26 studies of more than 3.4 million mother-child pairs across North America, Europe, and Asia. They concluded that the evidence was “suggestive but not sufficient to infer causality” between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and later neurodevelopmental disorders. Potential study shortcomings included: data regarding maternal drug use relied upon recall; there was data heterogeneity across studies; and there were numerous potential confounding factors. The investigators advise that pregnant women could continue to use acetaminophen if needed, but at the lowest effective dose and for the shortest necessary duration. They did not recommend complete avoidance of the medication. #acetaminophen #tylenol #pregnancy #pain #fever #birthdefects"

Sabemos que a gravidez pode ser um período difícil, com desconfortos e dores de cabeça. Mas, para evitar os riscos de medicamentos para o feto, é importante saber quais os melhores remédios para dores e febre durante a gravidez. Neste vídeo, vamos discutir os riscos do acetaminofeno, conhecido como Tylenol, e suas implicações na saúde do bebê.

I remember the Measles. I remember how my mom worried that when I grew up and got pregnant, I might get exposed to it. (At the time, she could not imagine a world without the Measles.)

When a pregnant woman (even a vaccinated one, I'm told) is exposed to Measles, her unborn baby has a good chance of having birth defects, such as deafness. (Interestingly, the #CDC webpage that I am sure used to talk about that, now says "Page Not Found".🤔)

When the #Measles #vaccines began, rates of babies being born deaf plummeted.

If the Pro-Lifers really want to "protect unborn babies," tell them they can #GetVaccinated .

#Trump #EPA’s Next Move: Making It Harder to Sue for Getting Cancer from #Roundup

The corporation behind Roundup #herbicide has paid out nearly $11 billion in lawsuits. Now it's backing an EPA rule that would stop the bleeding.

by Schuyler Mitchell, March 21 2025

"Last August, 11 industry-friendly red states, led by Nebraska and Iowa, submitted a 436-page petition asking the agency to amend its labeling rules under the Federal #Insecticide, #Rodenticide, and Fungicide Act, or #FIFRA. The proposed rule change would explicitly prohibit states from labeling #pesticides and #herbicides with warnings about cancer, #BirthDefects, and reproductive harm if those notices contradict the EPA’s risk assessment.

"The states made clear that their ultimate goal is to thwart future lawsuits against pesticide manufacturers. Their petition argued that recent court rulings have created a 'gap in FIFRA’s regulatory framework' that the proposed rule change would plug.

"In January, in a move initiated by the Biden administration, the EPA took a first step of accepting public comment on the rule-making petition, with a deadline of March 24 — though this step is exploratory and does not mean a new rule will be issued. Still, the EPA’s decision could have disastrous consequences if Donald Trump’s second administration is as friendly to the #ChemicalIndustry as it was in his first.

"'It’s telling of the lengths that pesticide manufacturers will go to make sure that nothing interferes with their profit margins,' said Brett Hartl, government affairs director at the Center for Biological Diversity. 'There’s a reality that the industry itself generates much of the data, and they say it’s safe, and then EPA approves that determination.”

Trump EPA’s Next Move: Making It Harder to Sue for Getting Cancer from Roundup
