It's April 17th. You're listening to Entertainment and celebrity news today, AI-powered entertainment coverage. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. just trashed a new study claiming no connection between Tylenol during pregnancy and autism in kids. The research, out in the top medical journal, looked at medical records from over 1 million women in Denmark and found zero link. Kennedy slammed it hard, saying it only tracked prescriptions, and missed all the over-the-counter buys, so the data was flawed from the jump. He called the whole thing garbage in, garbage out, and accused the industry of pumping out fake studies like this non-stop. Folks are fired up over this, especially since Kennedy emits there's no slam-dunk proof Tylenol causes autism. Still, he's telling pregnant women to play it safe and ease up on the pain reliever. Last fall, President Trump jumped in, too, advising moms to be to tough out fevers without it. Tylenol experts ripped Trump's take as reckless, saying it ignores solid advice on managing

pregnancy symptoms. No major follow-ups yet, but the debate's heating up fast. This class shows how tough it is to cut through the noise on health scares, stay sharp out there, and we'll keep watching how it unfolds.
