What a fucking joke. Tylenol is literally like, the only painkiller you can take while pregnant. Our OB said only Tylenol. To attack this, that is in such broad use, is to clearly state that this study is bunk and they're just making shit up

Have they tried investigating water? Most criminals have water. Most pregnant mothers whose kids turn out to have autism drink water.

Turns out they have investigated water, and it's fucking toxic here in the states. 100 or so chemicals are regulated and tested for out of many thousands.

Based on the data of the chemicals that we regulate and test for, the reality points to our water as being a potential environmental cause to seriously look into.

Capitalism and the byproducts of the industrial revolution are driving chronic disease in a general sense, at the very least.

Gosh, I've read about the water situation in places like Michigan. It didn't occur to me that parts of the USA have water that could be to blame. I should have said bread! Although that might trigger the gluten crowd.

It's not just Michigan, not even close. I recommend looking up Status Coup News on YT to see Jordan Chariton's reporting.

Here is a recent short (please ignore the AI voice, I guess it was an experiment for them): https://youtu.be/xsMJvO-fhxg

(https://youtu.be/MJ19Nzx-93w is the video it's based on.)

That's the latest crisis, there are many more that only they do reporting for - check the channel out. The EPA and mainstream media regularly cover up crises.

And in regards to bread, that's probably toxic too. Our pesticides suck and our soil is also likely fairly toxic as well.

Though not completely widespread, contaminated sewage biosolids are used in agriculture to fertilize soil (see: https://www.ewg.org/news-insights/news/2025/01/forever-chemicals-sludge-may-taint-nearly-70-million-farmland-acres), and recycled black water may even be used for agricultural irrigation in some places. I doubt that the filtering is sufficient in even the best case scenarios for both practices.

The study isn't necessarily bunk, but I wouldn't trust him even as far I could throw him.
