I heard about this over here in the UK, babies using Calpol (biggest child pain killer) were linked to higher rates of asthma..

Maybe thats why I am asthmatic.. I loved to weird taste....

This argument seems like a Correlation does not imply causation situation.

It does seem that there is some real basis for this argument, but it may be that the symptoms that parents are using the medicine to treat are causing or showing the beginning of asthma.
