    While I appreciate the author's summation of this article, the first sentence contains a significant logical fallacy regarding the results of this study. The research, in fact, only found a connection between two variables (maternal Tylenol use and childhood ADHD); it did not present evidence for a causal relationship between them. Based on this study, we cannot yet claim that it is acetaminophen that causes the increase in ADHD, as the start of this article implies.
