Abstract: This report evaluates the “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) movement’s food policy proposals, identifying five areas with strong scientific support to reduce diet-related chronic diseases. These five science-supported policy areas include: eliminating toxic chemicals, prohibiting subsidies for sugary drinks and ultra-processed foods, protecting children from unhealthy food environments, improving access to nutrition services in healthcare settings, and reducing conflicts of interest in food and nutrition research.
