FRIDAY, May 23, 2025 (HealthDay News) — A new White House report says today’s children are the sickest generation in U.S. history when it comes to chronic disease, and it puts the blame on environmental toxins, poor nutrition and too much screen time.

The White House blamed exposure to environmental toxins, poor nutrition and increased screen time for a decline in Americans’ life expectancy Thursday, in a major administration report that also casts doubt on the current vaccine schedule and medications deemed safe by most in mainstream medicine.

A commission led by U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Thursday issued a report that said processed food, chemicals, stress and overprescription of medications and vaccines may be factors behind chronic illness in American children.
