"Our kids are swimming around in a toxic soup. [Including]: glyphosate in Roundup, neonicotinoid pesticides, atrazine, which is in 63% of our water supply, PFOAs and PFASs...high-fructose corn syrup, cell phone radiation, Wi-Fi radiation, [and] fluoride..."Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (

) audience how kids these days are "swimming around in a toxic soup" of deleterious chemicals, including—but not limited to—glyphosate (an herbicide), atrazine (another herbicide), high-fructose corn syrup, and fluoride. RFK Jr. references Phil Landrigan, a prominent American epidemiologist and pediatrician, who's linked these toxins to diabetes, as well as other diseases. RFK Jr. also highlights "vaccines" as one of the "culprits" included in the toxic soup causing childhood disease. Transcription of clip: "When I was a kid, a typical pediatrician would see one case of diabetes in his career, a 40-year career, one case of juvenile diabetes. Today in America, one out of every three kids who walks through his office door is prediabetic or diabetic...Just that one category of disease is greater than our military budget. Nobody is saying anything about it. It's the biggest issue because if our economy collapses, the dollar collapses as a global reserve currency, we have wars, whatever. We're resilient people. We're tough. We're innovative.We're entrepreneurial. We can recover from anything.We can't recover from this. "And if you have one of these lifelong diseases, your soul is crushed. You're dependent on pharma and drugs and they never get it right. There's a whole generation of kids that are damaged today. And they're damaged in ways that we see and they're damaged in ways that we don't see. A lot of the social awkwardness and all that, which is characteristic of vaccine injury and other injuries. "I'm not saying this is all from vaccines. The vaccine schedule changed that year [1989]. It's not the only thing. A lot of things happened that year. And there's about 13 culprits. There's a very famous scientist, toxicologist here in New York, named Phil Landrigan, who I've used as a witness in many, many of my cases...He has a claim to be the most important toxicologist in the country. He's looked at this issue and he said, there's about 13 things that it could be. But it's probably a combination of all of them."Our kids are swimming around in a toxic soup. They're glyphosate and Roundup, neonicotinoid pesticides, atrazine, which is 63% of our water supply, PFOAs and PFASs, which I litigated on, they made a film about my case called Dark Waters starring Mark Ruffalo. These are the forever chemicals that are in, that are flame retardants. They put in all of our furniture that year. They put it in our children's pajamas everywhere. So that's ['88] and ['89]. Around that time. High-fructose corn syrup, cell phone radiation, Wi-Fi radiation, fluoride is part of it. But it doesn't really follow the timeline.But these are all of these chemicals operate along the same biological pathways. So it's probably accumulation of these that injures people. "The kids you see injured are kids who have a poor mitochondrial function. The mitochondria are the energy centers of their cells and you can stress them so much and they will recover. But if you stress them too much, they collapse and then there's a cascading effect that results in severe brain damage. And these kids are probably just hitting one too many exposure."
