No link between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and adverse birth outcomes

This paper says there are no adverse effects to the mother, but it does not mention possible adverse effects to the child beyond "birth health" and does not address the recent controversy about a possible link to autism.

And yet I still see MAHA defenders even on HN.

clean chit!

Now do the study in mutated (MTHR, MTHFR, COMT, others, some combination of them) sample populations.

Just for the sake of honest balance, with minimal commentary and no opinions:

Acetaminophen and dementia correlation:

Note that it's also hard on the liver. A lot fatalities due to taking after hangovers, etc: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/322813 So if you insist, maybe take some NAC.

But apparently, Ibuprofen helps counter the dementia risk:

I am not not asserting any clever marketing here. I am merely citing public information. Noting all the above, I am confident it's perfectly safe for children and fetuses, and if posing any risk at all, applies strictly to full grown adults. No doubts about child safety have been expressed here.

is this just lying with statistics?

surely some abuse of the drug could lead to adverse reactions?

are they just arguing for specific doses to not have negative effects? (that would be true of a lot of things we consider harmful)
