The **Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission** is a federal initiative established by President Donald Trump in February 2025 to address the escalating childhood chronic disease crisis in the United States. Chaired by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the commission includes 14 members from key federal agencies, including the NIH Director and Secretary of Education, with a mandate to study and combat chronic diseases affecting children such as obesity, diabetes, neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., autism), allergies, autoimmune diseases, and mental health disorders[1][2][7]. The Commission’s foundational task was to produce the *Make Our Children Healthy Again Assessment*, released in May 2025. This report outlined the scope of the crisis, identified contributing factors, and proposed mechanisms driving the rise in chronic conditions. Key drivers identified include poor diet, exposure to environmental chemicals, sedentary lifestyles, stress, and overmedicalization. The Commission emphasizes transparency and rooting out conflicts of interest in government health policies. It advocates for fresh approaches in nutrition, physical activity, environmental hazard reduction, and medication practices, with a focus on preventative, alternative, and holistic health strategies[1][3][5]. Noteworthy aspects include the Commission’s controversial stances on public health measures such as water fluoridation, vaccines, and food additives. Under Kennedy’s leadership, the CDC ceased recommending COVID-19 vaccines for children and pregnant women in mid-2025, and the Commission has advocated for removing artificial food dyes and restricting Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits from being used on processed foods and candy. These positions have drawn criticism from mainstream health experts who defend established public health practices[6]. The Commission operates through interagency collaboration, leveraging federal expertise to craft comprehensive policy recommendations. Its ongoing strategy, expected to be released following its initial assessment, aims to reshape America’s approach to childhood chronic disease prevention and health promotion, emphasizing research in nutrition, lifestyle interventions, and precision toxicology[
