President Trump’s Make America Healthy Again Commission released an expected report, blaming several factors for causing chronic illnesses, especially in children.
According to Axios, the highly anticipated report included bad diets, chemical exposure, and unnecessary medication for causing chronic illnesses in kids.
The commission said popular snacks and beverages save time and money but cites research showing ultra-processed foods are linked to chronic diseases.
A big concern for U.S. agriculture going into the day was pesticides.
The report says potential toxins in the environment are a big concern, but the administration is treading lightly.
“American farmers rely on these products, and actions that further regulate or restrict crop protection tools must involve thoughtful consideration of what’s necessary for adequate protection, alternatives, and cost of production,” the report added. “Understanding links between chemical exposure and chronic illness cannot happen through a European regulatory system that stifles growth.”
