MAHA REPORT

Our kids are unhealthy.

This report says now our government will dive into “why”.

And be still my heart, start to make necessary changes.

This is a report to assess the issues and then get back to the government with assessments and strategies. Within 100 to 180 days.

This is the administration’s report on their intentions for the health of our kids.

This is a “must” read.

America will begin reversing the childhood chronic disease crisis during this administration by getting to the “truth” of why we are getting sick and spurring pro-growth policies and innovations to reverse these trends.

Today’s children are the sickest generation in American history in terms of chronic disease and these preventable trends continue to worsen each year, posing a threat to our nation’s health, economy, and military readiness.

America will begin reversing the childhood chronic disease crisis during this administration by getting to the truth of why we are getting sick and spurring pro-growth policies and innovations to reverse these trends.

To Make Our Children Healthy Again, we must begin with a shared understanding of the magnitude of the crisis and subsequently what’s likely driving it.

This assessment provides that foundation— grounding future efforts in a common scientific basis that identifies four potential drivers behind the rise in childhood chronic disease that present the clearest opportunities for progress:

 Poor Diet: The American diet has shifted dramatically toward ultra-processed foods (UPFs), leading to nutrient depletion, increased caloric intake, and exposure to harmful additives. Nearly 70% of children’s calories now come from UPFs, contributing to obesity, diabetes, and other chronic conditions.

 Aggregation of Environmental Chemicals: Children are exposed to an increasing number of synthetic chemicals, some of which have been linked to developmental issues and chronic disease. The current regulatory framework should be continually evaluated to ensure that chemicals and other exposures do not interact together to pose a threat to the health of our children.

 Lack of Physical Activity and Chronic Stress: American children are experiencing unprecedented levels of inactivity, screen use, sleep deprivation, and chronic stress. These factors significantly contribute to the rise in chronic diseases and mental health challenges.

 Overmedicalization: There is a concerning trend of overprescribing medications to children, often driven by conflicts of interest in medical research, regulation, and practice. This has led to unnecessary treatments and long-term health risks

Studies find that more than 35% (equivalent to more than 15 million prescriptions) of childhood antibiotics are unnecessary68 and that infants exposed to antibiotics in the first 2 years of life are more likely to develop asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, celiac disease, obesity, and ADHD.

Big part of the issue? Corporate Capture and the Revolving Door!

UTTERLY DISGUSTING FACT (YOU WILL NEED A ZOFRAN WHEN YOU READ THIS)

The pharmaceutical industry, from 1999 to 2018, spent $4.7 billion on lobbying expenditures at the federal level, more than any other industry.

In addition, 9 out of the last 10 FDA commissioners—and approximately 70% of the agency’s medical reviewers—have gone on to work for the pharmaceutical industry.

Over 80% of clinical departments and teaching hospitals at U.S. medical schools receive some degree of pharmaceutical funding, while half of the total costs for continuing medical education (CME) is funded by industry. (Not the CME’s I now presently teach and am so proud to do so!)

Knowledge is power.

Much love.

Our government is trying to help.

You should stay informed to know what is going on.
