Re: Acetaminophen could cause ADHD

This study did not prove that Tylenol could cause ADHD only that a preliminary link between the two had been found and further studies need to be done.

The reason the women took acetaminophen could have an affect on the outcome too.

I need to look into this study....but a drug is a drug is a drug......hormones in milk, pesticides, etc. I'm amazed that I don't have three heads {#emotions_dlg.w00t}!

Acetaminophen could cause ADHD

The key word in a lot of findings like this is ""could"". Being a male when born and not a female ""could"" it also maybe be the ""cause""?

Re: Acetaminophen could cause ADHD

Hey, I remember being in the hospital holding my newborn son and dragging on a cigarette. What about THAT???? At that time, I probably smoked at least 2 pks. a day and took Tylenol too. He grew up to be a doctor. Imagine what could have been if I didn't smoke....{#emotions_dlg.lol}

If we all believe everything we read on the pkg. inserts, it would drive us back to smoking. {#emotions_dlg.ohmy}

Think of all the people who smoked that didn't get lung cancer. Doesn't mean smoking doesn't cause cancers and other diseases.

Flawed logic.

Re: Acetaminophen could cause ADHD

I had severe headaches, neck and back issues prior to my pregnancy and I took Tylenol with no issue and my daughter does NOT have ADHD..never tested for it..never suggested etc. No issues.

It is six of one or half dozen of others.

I pay no mind to that stuff.

I agree, except sometimes I think it has to do with amounts taken, taken occasionally or every day, I believe that makes a difference.

But then, I am the queen of flawed logic- you hadn't noticed???Many, Many smokers do NOT get lung cancer, you are correct..... Hey wonder how many smokers had in the study had ADHD kids....
