Tylenol and Autism: Evidence, Scientific Blunders, and Medicine Gone Wrong by William Parker, PhD, is a provocative, evidence-focused investigation into the disputed “Tylenol autism link”—the hypothesis that acetaminophen (Tylenol/paracetamol/APAP) exposure can trigger autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in biologically susceptible babies and young children. Rather than relying on a single study, Parker organizes roughly 30 distinct lines of evidence across pharmacology and metabolism, human associations involving time/place/behavior, laboratory animal neurodevelopmental toxicity, and additional observations—then weighs that total body of evidence against alternative explanations and common objections. The book digs into proposed mechanisms (including early-life limits in detoxification pathways, oxidative stress–linked susceptibility, and gut–brain effects) and emphasizes “timing of risk” from pregnancy through labor/delivery and early childhood. Beyond the science, it examines the logic of the controversy—how statistical mistakes (such as misclassifying interacting variables as confounders), peer-review failures, and conflicts of interest can shape medical consensus. In Tylenol and Autism, Dr. Parker confronts, with intelligence, honesty, and bravery, what is an undeniably culturally and politically explosive issue intensified by the 2025 White House spotlight on acetaminophen and autism.

With rich detail, compelling honesty, and a storyteller’s gift, RFK Jr. describes his life growing up Kennedy in a tumultuous time in history that eerily echoes the issues of nuclear confrontation, religion, race, and inequality that we confront today. In this powerful book that combines the best aspects of memoir and political history, the third child of Attorney General Robert Kennedy and nephew of JFK takes us on an intimate journey through his life, including watershed moments in the history of our nation. Stories of his grandparents Joseph and Rose set the stage for their nine remarkable children, among them three US senators—Teddy, Bobby, and Jack—one of whom went on to become attorney general, and the other, the president of the United States. We meet Allen Dulles and J. Edgar Hoover, two men whose agencies posed the principal threats to American democracy and values. Their power struggles with the Kennedys underpinned all the defining conflicts of the era. We live through the Cuban Missile Crisis, when insubordinate spies and belligerent generals in the Pentagon and Moscow brought the world to the cliff edge of nuclear war. At Hickory Hill in Virginia, where RFK Jr. grew up, we encounter the celebrities who gathered at the second most famous address in Washington, members of what would later become known as America’s Camelot. Through his father’s role as attorney general we get an insider’s look as growing tensions over civil rights led to pitched battles in the streets and 16,000 federal troops were called in to enforce desegregation at Ole Miss. We see growing pressure to fight wars in Southeast Asia to stop communism. We relive the assassination of JFK, RFK’s run for the presidency that was cut short by his own death, and the aftermath of those murders on the Kennedy family. These pages come vividly to life with intimate stories of RFK Jr.’s own experiences, not just with historical events and the movers who shaped them but also with his mother and father, with his own struggles with addiction, and with the ways he eventually made peace with both his Kennedy legacy and his own demons. The result is a lyrically written book that is remarkably stirring and relevant, providing insight, hope, and steady wisdom for Americans as they wrestle, as never before, with questions about America’s role in history and the world and what it means to be American.
