Pregnant women are filming themselves taking Tylenol in defiance against Donald Trump's shaky claim the painkiller causes autism in children.
The president announced that doctors in the US will begin advising expectant mothers against taking the drug because of an apparent link.
Trump, 79, claimed that taking Tylenol 'is no good', adding that pregnant women should 'fight like hell' to avoid taking it, except for in cases of extreme fever.
Several moms have gone viral on TikTok for posting videos of themselves taking Tylenol in protest.
'Here's me, a PREGNANT woman, taking TYLENOL because I believe in science and not someone who has no medical background,' one mom called Grace wrote over a video of herself taking the pill and dancing.
'Quit believing everything you see and hear,' she wrote in the caption for the video, which racked up almost 30,000 likes and 305,000 views in just 17 hours.
Several studies have linked Acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol, to higher rates of autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
However, the findings have not often been consistent and many doctors say it is completely safe, and even recommended, because high fevers during pregnancy can harm the mother and child.
Calley Means, an advisor to RFK Jr, shared several videos of moms taking part in the Tylenol video trend on X with the comment: 'No words'.
'Democrats are now chugging bottles of Tylenol on TikTok,' Means wrote as he shared his exasperation to his social media following.
Another mom-to-be named Natalie wrote on TikTok: 'About to take Tylenol for my headache while pregnant, because I don't take my medical advice from a man who doesn't have a degree in science, healthcare, or medicine, and who had a parasitic brain infection.

I know...the whole affair is disgusting to follow. Those people are deranged, not because they are pregnant and take Tylenol, but because they do it to make a political statement.
The unborn child does not even enter their consideration.
Sci3nce is find8ng out that even recommended doses at minumum dose might be causing health issues
“This is not the only study shedding light on the risks of acetaminophen. Earlier this year, researchers from the University of California, Davis explored the drug’s impact on cardiovascular health. Their study, published in April, revealed that even at safe doses equivalent to 500 mg/day, acetaminophen altered proteins in heart tissue, disrupting pathways related to energy production, antioxidant use, and the breakdown of damaged proteins. The researchers noted that these biochemical changes could lead to long-term heart problems, particularly due to oxidative stress and increased toxins as the drug breaks down.
Lead author Gabriela Rivera emphasized the importance of using acetaminophen at the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible duration to minimize risks.”
And
“Figure 1. The risks associated with prolonged use of acetaminophen according to recent studies. Findings include an increase in blood pressure with regular doses, alterations in the heart’s biochemical pathways due to oxidative stress, and a higher risk of heart failure, chronic kidney disease, hypertension, and peptic ulcers in frequent users. These studies emphasize the importance of using this medication with caution.”

Sorry, i meant that response,for telescope115
Any alcohol mixed with Tylenol can destroy your liver. This has been known for decades.
Why don’t they just abort them?
Not a problem-I took advantage of reading it!
Looks like your family has had its bouts with cancer too. Sorry about your sister's death from urinary tract cancer. My close friend of 40+ years, who died in June had bladder cancer surgery several years ago, and had no problems afterward. She was also a life-long smoker. She was diagnosed with COPD about 10-12 years ago, got Covid in May (despite having the shots), and died from more damage to her already damaged lungs.
I don't think I got any better genes. I think the fact that I never smoked, and the benefit of better available health care has helped keep me alive a little longer.
Insane. These women are proving that they will be unfit mothers even before they give birth.
I'd like to see a follow-up on this woman's kid in two years. Good or bad ?
This prayer will be for the babies.
“It might be them hoaxing...”
Hope you are right. That would be stupid, but not so disgusting.
[[I think the fact that I never smoked,]]
It’s one of the best things that you never did- COPD sucks- Wish i hadn’t been such a sheep and started smoking just because my friends did
i just read a thread where nope- a woman wasn’t hoaxing and is now apparently fighting for her life, not expected to make it- Don’t know if it has been verified yet, but if it is- Her TDS killed her by taking too much tylenol
Keep it below 2-1/2 grams a day and you will be okay if you have no liver function problems. If you are an alcoholic with current liver damage it will probably kill you.
Bottom line, “it is safe in low dosage. In large doses IT WILL kill you with out any doubt. It is a very nasty death.
In some European countries it is by prescription only. The sad thing about this is it was advertised as “Safe and Effective” by McNeil for many years on television. Many a young girl and some young men crying out for help took it in large doses thinking it would be okay as it is “safe and effective.” They died.
