A newly issued report from the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission, spearheaded by Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F Kennedy, Jr., points to such factors as poor diet, accumulation of environmental toxins, low physical activity, chronic stress, and overmedicalization as contributing to chronic diseases plaguing children in the United States. At its core, the Commission emphasizes the need for adequate access to nutritious and uncontaminated food. The Commission’s next step is to produce the Make Our Children Healthy Again Strategy by August of this year, based upon the findings from the Assessment. Following its release, there have been reports that the MAHA Report included several false citations. The MAHA Report was subsequently updated to correct several citations but there are allegations that the updated MAHA Report still contains errors.
