đŸ“© Contact us: [email protected] In this episode, doctors explore the recent debate about acetaminophen use during pregnancy and whether it’s linked to autism. Two major studies published in 2024 and 2025 reached very different conclusions, and we break them down so you can understand the evidence yourself. We explain how acetaminophen works, why it’s commonly recommended during pregnancy, and the difference between correlation and causation when it comes to autism research. We also share how your body processes the medication and the role glutathione plays in protecting the liver. You’ll learn: Why acetaminophen is often the pain/fever option during pregnancy What two recent studies say about autism risk 2025 Environmental Health study: https://ehjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12940-025-01208-0 2024 JAMA study: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2817406 Why ibuprofen and aspirin aren’t safe alternatives for pregnant women The science behind glutathione and liver protection Foods and supplements that may help support glutathione (garlic, onions, cruciferous vegetables, vitamin C, NAC) Whether you’re a parent, expecting, or just curious about the safety of common medications, this episode helps separate headlines from science. 🎧 Listen on Your Favourite Platforms: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3OFxEjictC41CCS1z2AVKe Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/talking-with-docs/id1799242189 YouTube Music: ‱ TWD Podcast 👕 Shop Our MERCH: https://www.spreadshirt.ca/shop/user/talking+with+docs/ ❀ Support Oakville Hospital: https://donate.oakvillehospitalfoundation.com đŸ“± Follow Us: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@talkingwithdocs Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/talkingwithdocs/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063617375848 🛑 DISCLAIMER: This content is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice.
