Part 2/6:
Dr. Oz, a respected figure in healthcare and the head of Medicare and Medicaid Services, joined the dialogue to shed light on the dire state of child health. He noted that over 40% of American children suffer from at least one chronic health condition. According to him, one in six children is considered obese, a figure that is alarming in comparison to other developed nations. Furthermore, a significant portion of the youth face severe issues, including allergies and mental health challenges; approximately 25% of teens exhibit symptoms of ADHD and major depression.
As Dr. Oz remarked, these shifts indicate a profound health crisis that has escalated within a remarkably short span of time.
