The Dr. Hyman Show
Encore: Food: The Root Causes of Our Healthcare, Economic and Social Crises with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

We know it's not genes. Genes do not cause epidemics. They can provide a vulnerability, but you need an environmental toxin. Our kids didn't suddenly get lazy. You know, we are mass poisoning our children.

I think I talked to you about that before that I โ€“ because you and I visited Peru together. But I had lived my senior year in high school for half the year I'd lived in Ilave, which is up in the Altiplano in Peru with an Indian tribe, the Aymaras. And it was 14,000 feet. And it really does a lot of weird things to your body and your everything.

Encore: Food: The Root Causes of Our Healthcare, Economic and Social Crises with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Yeah, this is one of the reasons, the key reasons that I ran for president, Mark. to end this chronic disease epidemic and to restore Americans to good health. When my uncle was president in 1960, if you go back and look at his speeches and his thoughts back then, and he was extraordinarily distressed at that point that we were losing ground to Europeans.

And if he could look at Americans today, he would be in shock because we are so sick, as you say. The obesity during his, when he was in office, obesity was at 13%. Today it's at 42%, 45% now. 75% of Americans are overweight. When he was in office, 6% of Americans had chronic disease. By 1986, 11.8%. So it had doubled between 1960 and 1986. It's 26 years. By 2006, it was at 54%.

And we don't really know what the numbers are right now because of the, I would say, purposeful data chaos that comes out of NIH that they will not give us straight ways of measuring baselines, of understanding, you know, why healthcare, why public health is declining so precipitously in our country. And, you know, it's clearly, these are epidemics.

The epidemics, we're seeing epidemics of all these chronic diseases, not only obesity, neurological diseases, ADD, ADHD, speech delay, language delay, tics, Tourette's syndrome, narcolepsy, ASD, autism, all of these diseases that you and I never heard of when we were kids.

Yeah. I mean, autism has gone in 1 in 10,000 in my generation. So 70-year-old men, 1 in 10,000 have full-blown autism. And by that, I mean nonverbal, non-toilet train, stimming, toe walking, hand flapping. You don't see the people like that my age. But according to the CDC, one in every 34 kids looks like that. What's happening? One in 22 boys. Then we have the autoimmune diseases.
