What does the latest research say about acetaminophen (Tylenol) use during pregnancy and autism risk?
The allegations before. Today, President Trump's expected to propose that the active ingredient in Tylenol can increase the risk of autism. NPR's John Hamilton reports that the science behind this claim is inconclusive.
Trump is likely to say that pregnant women who take acetaminefin, the active ingredient in Tylenol, are more likely to have babies who develop autism spectrum disorder. The claim is based on several studies that found an association between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism. But other research, including a very large Swedish study, found no link. Even the studies that did find an association suggest that acetaminophen is a relatively small contributor to autism rates. Genetics is a much larger contributor, also, autism diagnoses have roughly quadrupled in the past twenty years while acetaminophen use during pregnancy has remained stable. John Hamilton, NPR News.
How will the new U.S.‑owned joint venture change TikTok’s algorithm and data security?
A new US based and US owned joint venture is being formed to take control of the popular short video app TikTok. Content in America on the app will come from a copy of its famed algorithm that'll be trained on U.S. data. More from NPR's John Ruit.
A senior White House official says the software company Oracle will be one of the investors, and it'll act as TikTok's security provider, overseeing things like how the algorithm works, how the app is updated, and how Americans' data is stored. Some 170 million Americans use TikTok, according to the official, and the deal addresses concerns that TikTok's Chinese parent company, ByteDance, could help the Chinese government spy on US users or influence them. A law passed last year forces Bite Dance to divest or see the app go dark in the US. President Trump has issued several executive orders suspending enforcement of the law while his administration tried to broker a deal. He spoke with Chinese leader Xi Jinping last week and said China is on board.
