The report, expected this month from the US Department of #Health & Human Services, which #RFKJr heads, is likely to highlight how low levels of #folate, an important vitamin, & #Tylenol taken during pregnancy, could be a potential cause of #autism, the report said.
So fucking stupid it hurts.

#Kenvue said in a statement that it believes there is no causal link between #Tylenol use during pregnancy & #autism. The company advises expecting mothers to speak to #healthcare PROFESSIONALS [& not listen to brain worm crazy morons] before taking OTC medications, including Tylenol.
The #FDA & leading #medical orgs agree on the safety of acetaminophen, its use during pregnancy, & the information provided on the label," the co said.

I used it for a while when I first quit illicit #drugs since it massively quelled #opioid withdrawal, acting on the same receptors:
It's like the diet version of an opioid painkiller.
I slowly tapered off it until I didn't use it at all over roughly a year, and it used to be a lot more niche.
Now people are getting addicted to it in mass since it's a pain killer with extra effects, the #fda is eying it, and I'm glad I stopped.
Do y’all like knowing what’s in your food? Do you remember reading Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle? Cause guess what the Sec of Brainworms has decided. Food standards and labeling don’t matter, we will eat what our corporate overlords decide we will eat.
The FDA is revoking 52 food standards (such as canned fruits, dairy, and baked goods).
Affected foods include (full list linked below)
Canned Fruits & Vegetables
Dairy Products
Bakery, Macaroni, and Noodle Products
Canned Fruit Juices & Juice Concentrates
Fish, Shellfish & Other Foods
Food Dressings & Flavorings (llike vanilla vs vanillin)
I can’t wait for wood chips as jam “pips”, and HFCS replacing natural sugar in everything. What fun this capitalism is, no?
