The Food and Drug Administration Commissioner said during a Sunday morning program that the nation’s health care system needs to turn from a “reactionary” to a “proactive” shift in the United Sates, according to the Daily Wire.
Commissioner Marty Makary, who appeared in “Sunday Morning Futures” said the “Make America Healthy Again” report on potential causes of chronic diseases in American children, should make health officials turn from focusing more on food and environmental toxins than on implementing drug and treatments, according to the Daily Wire.
“Scientists have been waving the flag for years, saying you have got to look at this body of scientific data. And the modern medical establishment really has been disconnected. We have been so busy focusing on treatment, on billing and coding in a high-throughput model,” the Trump official said.
Makary continued: “We have got to stop and ask ourselves, should we be focusing more on school lunch programs, not just putting every kid on Ozempic?” he said, referring to a drug widely used for weight loss. “We have got to talk about food as medicine and gut health and the microbiome. We have got to talk about environmental toxins that cause cancer, not just the chemo to treat it.”
He went on: “And maybe we need to treat more diabetes with cooking classes, not just throwing insulin at people. This report is a fresh new approach that really calls for a transformation of our health care system from a reactionary system to a proactive system.”
The commissioner said he could “not be more excited” about the report with its takeaways about ultra-processed foods, environmental toxins, stress, and the lack of physical activity, as well as the reliance on medications and vaccines. The Daily Wire covered its findings last week when it was released by Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
