Health & Wellness - Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has released a comprehensive report highlighting an alarming increase in chronic diseases among American children, identifying poor diet, environmental toxins, lack of physical activity, and overmedicalization as the primary culprits.
- Kennedy’s report identifies ultra-processed foods, which make up 70% of the average American child’s diet, as a major contributor to chronic disease
- Environmental chemical exposure from heavy metals, pesticides, and microplastics is cited as another significant factor
- Decreased physical activity and increased screen time (with nearly 50% of teens reporting being “constantly online”) are linked to rising health problems
- One in five American children are currently on prescription medications, raising concerns about overmedicalization
