Dec 19, 2025 | News & Events

We are proud to announce that Dr. Michael Cummings, Vice Chair of Psychiatry at UBMD, was featured on the 716 Together podcast with Tammy Lee Demler!

In this in-depth discussion on autism, they tackle recent headlines about a possible link between acetaminophen (Tylenol) use during pregnancy and autism, exploring what the research really says—and what it doesn’t. Dr. Cummings explains the difference between correlation and causation, reviews major studies from Sweden and Japan, and emphasizes the importance of evidence-based guidance for expectant mothers. The conversation also touches on genetic factors, misconceptions, and why listening to your healthcare provider matters.
