(The Blaze)—Several agricultural agencies came out and criticized President Donald Trump’s highly anticipated MAHA report that was released on Thursday. After thoroughly reviewing the records, Blaze News uncovered who is behind many of these anti-MAHA groups.
The MAHA report’s findings suggested that exposure to agricultural chemicals like pesticides and insecticides are one of the many root causes that have contributed to chronic diseases and health epidemics afflicting American children. Several studies found that these “crop protection tools” have “raised concerns about possible links between some of these products and adverse health outcomes,” according to the report.
For example, one of the most common herbicides, known as glyphosate, has been found to have a number of health effects “ranging from reproductive and developmental disorders as well as cancers, liver inflammation, and metabolic disturbances,” according to the report.
The MAHA report also noted that there are great disparities in research conducted by pesticide manufacturers compared to non-industry research, which may be a result of bias. One of the many analyses cited in the report found that 50% of non-industry research deemed a common pesticide harmful compared to just 18% of industry-funded studies.
