Episode Description

US President Donald Trump has told women they shouldn't take paracetamol (also known as Tylenol or acetaminophen) during pregnancy because it has been linked to autism.

Also, an unexpected result from a study looking into whether a yoga exercise program could prevent falls in older adults.
