The 'Make America Healthy Again' report by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claims to address chronic diseases affecting children, citing over 500 studies. However, an analysis by NOTUS revealed that several studies cited do not exist, with issues of misinterpretation in key areas such as screen time and medication. Critics, including health officials, highlighted omissions of critical factors affecting children’s health. The report attributes rising health concerns to poor diets and lifestyle choices. White House press secretary acknowledged the need for updates but defended the report's intent and transformative potential.
NOTUS found that seven of the studies cited in RFK Jr.'s MAHA report appear never to have been published, raising significant credibility concerns.
Current and former federal health officials criticized the MAHA report for misstating facts and excluding relevant factors behind chronic diseases in children.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that the MAHA report would be updated to address issues, but maintained that its substance remained valuable.
Kennedy's MAHA report attributes childhood health issues to diet, lack of exercise, stress, and excessive medication, despite numerous inaccuracies in cited studies.
