New report does not detail Kennedy’s beliefs on potential causes of autism
In this new report, their plans to end chronic disease are broken down into four categories, including how the administration plans to advance research, realign incentives, foster private sector collaboration and increase public awareness.
The report does not say how the federal government will be paying for the new studies, commissions and benefits it recommends. There is also little detail on most of the recommendations and plans. It does not, as some had expected, list potential causes of autism.
Make America Health Again Commission’s May report
In May, the Make America Healthy Again Commission released a report on what they determined to be the leading drivers of childhood chronic disease, including:
- Poor diet and ultra-processed foods in particular
- Cumulative exposure to chemicals such as food additives and pesticides
- Lack of physical activity and chronic stress
- “Overmedicalization”: including over-prescribing and what it regards as the over-use of vaccines
