Acetaminophen and Increase in Asthma

According to THIS article, it appears that women who take acetaminophen while pregnant have an increased chance of having a child with asthma. While the belief is still wildly held that asthma is hereditary, the researchers think that acetaminophen increases the likelihood of the disease being transferred over.



Another interesting point made by the article - high fat meals decrease reaction to abuterol. Adding to the reasons why I should stay away from that burger and french fries!
