TWT: Does Tylenol Really Cause Autism?

Tylenol during pregnancy and its potential link to autism has been making headlines and sparking heated debates lately.

It’s a controversial topic, but one that deserves a careful, unbiased discussion.

On today’s show, I dive into the latest research to help separate fact from fear.

I’ll explain why autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders are multifactorial, and explore the bigger picture, including environmental toxins, gut health, and genetics. You’ll also learn why supporting the body’s detox pathways may be one of the most important steps for protecting both mother and child.

Join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3539 to explore this complex topic and get a balanced perspective on Tylenol, pregnancy, and neurodevelopmental health.

Enjoy the show, and I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Show Highlights & Big Takeaways:

1. There’s No Single Cause of Autism
Autism and other neurological disorders are multifactorial, influenced by genetics, environmental exposures, gut health, and toxin load. While Tylenol alone is unlikely to be the root cause, its ability to reduce antioxidant protection through glutathione depletion may make the body more vulnerable to these contributing factors.

2. Tylenol Isn’t Risk-Free in Pregnancy
Despite being widely available over the counter, acetaminophen has never been officially declared safe for pregnant women. It can impair the body’s detoxification capacity and should only be used when truly necessary and under medical supervision.

3. Focus on Reducing Toxic Load and Supporting Detox Pathways
Reducing overall toxic load and supporting the body’s natural detoxification systems is key. With environmental toxins and heavy metals increasing dramatically over recent decades, optimizing detox function and minimizing exposure during pregnancy may help protect both mother and child.
