Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s campaign to curb the chronic diseases plaguing millions of Americans is expanding to include new guidelines for food and pharmaceutical advertising and a proposal to increase breastfeeding rates through a "safe supply of donor human milk."
Those recommendations are included in a report released Sept. 9 from Kennedy's Make America Healthy Again Commission that also seeks to establish a number of other policy reforms, including a new definition for ultra-processed foods, revised dietary guidelines, limits on food dyes and increased scrutiny into infant formula among its policy reforms.
Notably, Kennedy's group does not address pesticide regulations, which have been a major area of concern to the Trump Cabinet secretary's MAHA base.
The report is the second installment of the Make America Health Again commission established by President Donald Trump in an executive order during Kennedy's swearing-in ceremony in February.
The policy reforms in the report include a proposal for accreditation reform for medical education programs with a focus on treating the root causes of chronic disease in the U.S., and a proposal to increase breastfeeding rates through a "safe supply of donor human milk."
