I think he ran truly on the basis of looking out for the welfare and health of all Americans and most importantly of children and this next generation of children and grandchildren who are being affected by the toxins that we have in our food and in our water and in our farmlands and how we can
not only address that, but reduce what I'm really concerned about, the higher incidence of cancer occurring in younger people and healthier people.

Okay, let's go through one at a time. It is remarkable that since 2012 there are very, very strong, good scientific papers that showed these yellow and blue and red dyes are carcinogenic. Very strong papers. So it is a settled science that these chemicals are carcinogenic.

It is also a settled science that the chemicals that you and I use as Scotchgard or on our clothing or on non-stick pans called PFAS is carcinogenic. Yet we are the only country in the world, to my knowledge, compared to Europe, that have not banned these chemicals or regulated these chemicals in our food and allowed them to happen.

We're the only country in the world that has never measured this thing, PFAS, that's in the ground and uses fertilizers and in the milk. The consequences of that is three, five, ten years of consuming this kind of food in everything we do.

is we are now seeing, and I don't want to scare the world, but I'm speaking to all my colleagues at University of California, San Francisco, at Mount Sinai, at Oxford, and we are now seeing eight-year-old, 10-year-old, 11-year-old children with colon cancer. I've just treated a young 13-year-old child with metastatic pancreatic cancer who sadly just passed away.

I've never in my career seen now so many young, healthy people with colon cancer. I'm about to treat a 22 year old young lady with metastatic colon cancer. We have to ask ourselves the question, why are we seeing this in our nation? And I just tweeted the longevity life cycle of Americans compared to the rest of the world. Places like Italy, UK, Europe. And you see the curve of us.

We have one of the lowest lifespan per capita to spend than the rest of the world. This is so unacceptable. And I think it is a consequence of the inactivity or unawareness, if that's an English word, and the lack of action that's happened at the highest level at HHS.

So let me give you this idea of red meat. I would refer you to, and again, I tweeted about that, and the News Nation did this story on PFAS. Even to me, studying all these chemicals for the last 10 years of my career,

I was unaware that the EPA never measured PFAS, allowed the PFAS coming out of the chemical factories making PFAS, put it together as sludge and place it as fertilizer across the land of the United States, which means all our cattle, all our dairy cows have PFAS at such a massive levels, either in the meat or in the milk.

If it's true what that program said, and we need to go validate that, but that's what was claimed in that program, that 97% of Americans have a PFAS level higher than what is normal or safe, then yes, the meat that we eat, it's like the salmon. Everybody thinks fish was fantastic except until they found it had mercury. The milk that we drink, if it's filled with PFAS,
