"The officials also are expected to suggest a connection between autism and low levels of the vitamin folate. The WSJ report said the administration would identify a form of folate known as leucovorin as a way to decrease the symptoms of autism. What they're saying: "President Trump pledged to address America's rising rate of autism, and to do so with Gold Standard science. Tomorrow's announcement will make historic progress on both commitments," said White House spokesman Kush Desai."
"Earlier, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists concluded there's no clear evidence of a relationship between prudent use of acetaminophen and fetal developmental issues. Kenvue, the maker of Tylenol, said in a statement: "We believe independent, sound science clearly shows that taking acetaminophen does not cause autism. We strongly disagree with any suggestion otherwise and are deeply concerned with the health risk this poses for expecting mothers.""
Conclusions from a government report on causes of autism are slated for release this month. A White House announcement will present claimed links between autism and low levels of the vitamin folate and identify leucovorin as a proposed treatment to decrease autism symptoms. President Trump, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and CMS Administrator Mehmet Oz are scheduled to appear at the Oval Office for the announcement. Some studies have associated prenatal acetaminophen exposure with increased risks of autism spectrum disorder and ADHD, but a large Swedish study found no connection. Major obstetric groups found no clear evidence linking prudent acetaminophen use to fetal developmental issues, and Tylenol’s maker maintains that independent science does not support a causal link.
