Was acetaminophen tested on Jews during the Holocaust?
Someone told me when I was pregnant that one of the reasons we know that acetaminophen is so safe for pregnant ladies and babies is because it was tested on the Jews during the Holocaust (as they did all kinds of human tests during that time on the Jews). As HORRIFIED as I was to learn about this, I am unable to find any literature, documentation or proof that this is true. There is plenty of literature about the fact that the Jews were tested on, but I can't find anything about acetaminophen. I am just curious if this is actually true, because if it is I find it an interesting, though sad, bit of trivia.

No it was not. Although acetaminophen was invented in the 18th centruy it was nearly forgotten until 1947 when AMERICAN (as in US) scientists rediscovered it when studing about human blood. Large scale studies on humans (as nessacary for medicin) did start a few years later.
