And we were like, hey, we could actually look at this.

Sweden having its lovely universal health care system means that you can track everyone.

They don't just disappear in the system.

They're there.

They're tracked.

Everyone has access to this, right?

This shows that we're not in crazy land, for example, that somehow our data are not flawed.

We're not flawed.

Everything is working as anticipated.

When it's down to like a 5% increase in risk, you start to actually wonder whether or not it's real or not.

Yeah, exactly.

Or a mom being sicker, right?

Like you don't just take Tylenol for funsies.

Yeah.

What if we did this within the same family unit?

So basically kids born to the same mom, but during one pregnancy, the mom used acetaminophen and the other pregnancy, the mom didn't, right?

So then you control at least partially for genetics.

Everything flatlined in terms of risk.

You know, what was already a very minimal increase in risk just flatlined to absolutely no difference in risk for a child who is exposed.

No increased risk for autism, for ADHD, for intellectual disability.
