FDA Commissioner Marty Makary: The American food system has failed our kids “ Look at the fact that 40% of American kids have a chronic disease.” “Between the lines in the medical textbooks and medical school was kind of a blaming of children for not having the discipline, and it's not a willpower problem.” “This is highly addictive, chemicalized foods that are ultra processed, that are put in front of kids and they want more. And you put these vibrant colors in them from the petroleum-based eyes.” “And so this is something adults have done to kids.” “I think that we have failed. We've given people the wrong information, that calories in equals calories out. This demonization of fat and all that stuff we talked about.” “GLP-1s are mimicking a natural hormone in the body, and so when you get a supplementation of that, it's doing the job of increasing satiety, slowing down GI motility, and it has a profound impact on a number of conditions because you are also reducing insulin resistance and general body inflammation.” “And so, that's why we're seeing so many other benefits.” “Plus, you feel better. When you feel better, you're gonna have benefits we haven't even appreciated yet, because there's an incredible value to positive thinking.” @MartyMakary @DrMakaryFDA
