Earlier post from today of a different study about the effects of paracetamol/acetaminophen on foetal development:

Paracetamol disrupts early embryogenesis by cell cycle inhibition - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45006296 - Aug 2025 (167 comments)

I don't think this is a dupe of the linked post? This is a meta-analysis of several studies, while that other link goes to a specific study that happened to release a few days later.

Yes, I recognized that after I posted the comment, then took the [dupe] tag off this one.

We still can't have this on the front page whilst (or soon after) the earlier one is active; this is what we call a "quasi-dupe". It's a different story/study but about the same underlying topic, so it's not really able to sustain a substantially new/different discussion.

The right thing to do is for someone to post a link to this study in the other thread, which has already been done: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45007686.
