DEVELOPING: HHS Issues Urgent Warning on Autism-Acetaminophen Link

Breaking News: HHS Issues Urgent Warning on Autism-Acetaminophen Link The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has issued an urgent warning linking the use of acetaminophen, a common painkiller sold under the brand name Tylenol, to autism spectrum disorder. The warning comes as part of a report scheduled for release this month. According to sources, HHS is planning to link acetaminophen use during pregnancy and certain vitamin deficiencies to an increased risk of autism. However, it's unclear what specific conclusions will be drawn in the report. HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has previously made unsupported claims about the causes of autism, sparking controversy within the scientific community. The agency has declined to comment on the contents of the report, stating that any claims are "nothing more than speculation" until its release. This warning is likely to have immediate impact on pregnant women and families affected by autism. As the report's conclusions become clearer, we can expect a significant response from healthcare providers, policymakers, and advocacy groups. The HHS report is expected to be released this month, but no specific date has been announced. We will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
