79. Tylenol, Leucovorin, Glutathione, & Autism In this episode of The Nourishing Autism Podcast, Brittyn kicks off Season 3 with one of the most important conversations yet. In light of recent events, social media has been buzzing with claims that “Tylenol causes autism”, but have we missed the point? Listen in to hear: A refreshing perspective on controversial news from a dietitian, mother, and autism sibling. Why Tylenol is not the full story and what research actually says. The critical role of glutathione (our body’s master antioxidant) and how it relates to autism and Tylenol use. What we know about Leucovorin (folinic acid), folate, and lab testing like the FRAT test. Practical ways you can support your child's nutrient status without blame, shame, or guilt. This episode is about zooming out and looking at the big picture. No matter if the headlines left you confused and overwhelmed, or reassured and hopeful, you’ll walk away from this episode feeling anchored in clarity, compassion, and encouragement. 📌 Show Notes & Resources: Join the Nourishing Autism Collective community for hands-on support with expanding your child’s diet while honoring their sensory needs 👉 Past Sulforaphane Podcast Episode: Research Studies Mentioned: [1] Prada, D., Ritz, B., Bauer, A.Z. et al.
