aaah, what you call acetaminophen is called paracetamol over here in Europe...THAT compound I know.^^
I made a quick-check on pubmed, and indeed there are a few studies linking paracetamol - but actually every other fever-supressant as well - with infant autism. But as far as I read, there are no "hard facts" until now, so it's more a suspicion, and some calls for more research.
So to say:
Acetaminophen actually causes brain damage
might be a little early. But there is the possibility. Very interresting, thanks!
It overwhelms the livers detox pathways sulfation, glucorinadation then glutathionation causing brain damage. And just search a different system in the body to see the damage it does to it- damages the pancreas so may be the cause of type 1 diabetes when a pregnant mother takes it- damages endocrine system, causes cancer etc.
