Acetaminophen and autism . . .

"Here are peer-reviewed papers, systematic reviews and mechanistic articles that have reported associations or argued biological plausibility for acetaminophen (paracetamol) exposure as a possible contributor to neurodevelopmental outcomes including autism." -- John H Abeles

Key studies & reviews that report an association or biological plausibility

Liew Z., et al., 2014 — “Acetaminophen Use During Pregnancy and Neurobehavioral Outcomes” (JAMA Pediatrics) — One of the large prospective cohort studies that reported associations between prenatal acetaminophen exposure and later ADHD-like behaviors; raised concern about potential neurodevelopmental effects.

Liew Z., et al., 2016 — “Maternal use of acetaminophen during pregnancy and risk of autism spectrum disorder in offspring” (Epidemiology / PubMed entry) — A population study that examined prenatal acetaminophen exposure and ASD risk and discussed confounding and methodological issues.

Bauer A., Kriebel D., 2016 (and related reviews) — “Prenatal and perinatal analgesic exposure and autism” (PubMed abstract / review) — Early review paper discussing the ecological correlation between rising paracetamol use and ASD, plus biologic plausibility and epidemiologic findings.

Robinson R. et al., 2016 / 2017 — “Acetaminophen Use in Early Life and Autism” (systematic and mechanistic reviews) — Reviews that summarize observational studies linking early-life acetaminophen (not only prenatal exposure) to increased ASD risk and discuss mechanisms (oxidative stress, immune effects). Example review available on PMC.

Mega-cohort / consortium analyses (2021) — “Prenatal and postnatal exposure to acetaminophen in relation to neurodevelopmental outcomes” (European cohorts) — Large pooled analysis of multiple cohorts (≈73,000 pairs) investigating prenatal and early postnatal acetaminophen exposure and ASC/ADHD outcomes; results were mixed and interpreted as inconclusive but included signals worthy of further study.

Systematic review (2022) — “A Systematic Review of the Link Between Autism Spectrum Disorder and Acetaminophen” (PMC review) — Comprehensive systematic review summarizing observational studies, heterogeneity across results, and limitations (confounding, exposure measurement).

Prada D. et al., 2025 — “Evaluation of the evidence on acetaminophen use and neurodevelopmental outcomes” (open-access review) — A recent evidence evaluation that concluded many studies report associations between prenatal acetaminophen and NDDs (ASD/ADHD) but stressed heterogeneity and residual confounding.

Mechanistic papers (oxidative stress / mitochondrial hypotheses) — Articles that discuss plausible biological mechanisms (oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, immune/inflammatory pathways) by which ac

Sitting here exhausted, but very pleased with today's foraging run! The highlight of today's outing was actually catching harvest season for the wild strawberry for the first time in years!

This weekend, we are at Schubert Centre for their summer market, then we are back at the Rutland Flea Market. We've purchased a 4ft folding table that we hope will be big enough to handle a tighter version of the layout we had at Lumby Days. The Lumby Days Indoor Craft Fair blew our socks off!

The way the Lumby Days booth setup looked, we are becoming a veritable roving wildcrafted tea parlor with a side of medical insight to help people make choices that benefit their situations. Several times so far this spring, and several times at both major fairs this month, we've been asked if we have a storefront. As of yet, we do not, but we realize that if sales continue as they are, we will be in need of more processing space that can allow for a foodsafe kitchen, processing area, and expanded drying area so we can expand available quantities of the teas we offer, and potentially branch into other wildcrafted goods for sale.

If you are reading this and you are in the Central Okanagan region, and if you believe you know someone who might help in some way, drop us a line with that information.

Arrest every last one of these violent protesters and looters. Prison for citizens, deportation for non-citizens. Make it hurt so people think twice before doing the bidding of those who are funding this nonsense and encouraging them to riot . . .

Ford announces lower model prices following Trump's 25% tariffs on non-American-made vehicles

The automobile manufacturer is offering what it coined a “handshake deal with every American,” one day following the imposition of 25% tariffs on non-American-made vehicles.

Ford on Thursday announced a new, lower-cost vehicle pricing plan – “From America, For America” – following President Trump unveiling the previous day 25% tariffs on non-American-made vehicles.

The spring plan will offer employee pricing to potential customers for most vehicles – electric, gas-powered and hybrid – with the exception of some higher-end models include Navigator SUVs.

Addressing customer concerns and uncertainty about the tariffs he said, “We want them to be assured that Ford, the most American auto company, is going to do right by them, as are our dealers.”

Is he going to prop up the government again in order to “support workers?” Or is he going to force an election in the spring? It’s becoming increasingly unclear what NDP leader Jagmeet Singh wants. Could Singh’s theatrics have anything to do with his gold-plated pension?

You want to know what's really going on in Springfield, Ohio? Are pets being eaten? Are Haitans a problem there? Well, here are the facts. It's a long read, but full of information that the main stream #FakeNews never allowed to be told . . .

India has brought more of its gold home. Last spring, the Reserve Bank of India repatriated 100 tons of gold, moving it from the UK to vaults within India’s borders. According to a report by the New Indian Express, the RBI recently moved another 102 tons of gold home. According to the latest data, the Indian central bank holds 854.73 tons of gold, with 510 tons now held within the country’s borders. That’s about 60 percent of its total reserves.
