"…The much-anticipated “Make America Healthy Again” report calls for increased scrutiny of the childhood vaccine schedule, a review of the pesticides sprayed on American crops and a description of the nation’s children as overmedicated and undernourished."

"…The report notably omits some of the most common causes of chronic disease and death in children, insinuates there could be harms where there is lack of evidence, and avoids discussing how Republicans have already changed the health system in ways researchers believe are harmful."

"…The report comes as the administration has taken a raft of actions researchers consider contrary to the health of Americans, such as eliminating world-leading sexually transmitted disease research laboratories and highly effective tobacco-prevention offices."

"…The report barely mentions the socioeconomic factors that worsen obesity and childhood disease, like a lack of access to healthy food or green space."

"…The report is the first step of the administration’s plan to address what President Trump has called a crisis of chronic disease in America."

"…The report was heavy on outlining problems, but light on concrete solutions."

"…Notably absent is a thorough discussion of how socioeconomic factors like poverty are the underlying drivers of why some children are faring so poorly."

"…The report takes a closer look at the American diet and flags ultra-processed grains, sugars and fats, and food additives as problems fueling chronic diseases."

"…The report is the product of a consensual process, and it represents a collaborative effort of all the agencies and the White House."

"…Despite outspending peer nations by more than double per capita on healthcare, the United States ranks last in life expectancy among high-income countries — and suffers higher rates of obesity, heart disease, and diabetes."

"…The report repeatedly cites a British Medical Journal analysis from 2018 that found that “big food” spent over $60 billion on drug, biotechnology, and device research in nutrition science."

"…The report puts much of the blame for chronic illness among children on the pharmaceutical industry and also questions the use of pesticides in farming, suggesting further studies are needed."

"…The detailed report is framed as a “call to action.”"

"…The report recommends ten areas of research initiatives for various government agencies as part of the next step in the process."

"…The report attributes the rise in health issues in children to multiple factors."

"…A report from the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission says that the childhood chronic disease crisis is likely being driven by poor diet, including a prevalence of ultra-processed foods, such as food high in sugar and fat; higher levels of exposure to chemicals, including pesticides; a lack of physical activity combined with chronic stress; and an overprescription of medications, including prescriptions for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder."

"…The report paints a bleak picture of the state of children’s health in America, highlighting the effects of foods, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and others."

"…The report found that prescribing medication to children has skyrocketed in recent history, such as a 250% increase in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder prescriptions between 2006 and 2016 despite scientific evidence that the prescriptions did not "improve outcomes long-term.""
