Episode #212: Is Tylenol Linked to Autism? & A Drug Ad Crackdown

Beyond Labels Podcast

Two stories that hit your medicine cabinet and your media diet.

First, a new presidential memo directs HHS (Kennedy Jr) to rein in “misleading” prescription drug ads and beef up side-effect disclosures. Will that curb America’s over-medication? Will it be the demise of mainstream media outlets like CNN and FOX news? Joel and Sina break it down.

Second, HHS may, for the first time, link autism to acetaminophen (Tylenol). That would be a bombshell given how common it is: roughly 1 in 4 U.S. adults take an acetaminophen-containing medicine each week, and about 60% of pregnant women use it during pregnancy.

Joel and Sina cut through the spin to explore what tougher ad rules and a potential HHS pivot could mean for labels, lawsuits, and your family’s choices.

We want to hear from you!
