During a January 2024 TV appearance, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., now the health and human services secretary, referred to environmental toxins that became prevalent in the 1980s and ’90s. “One of them is high-fructose corn syrup,” he said, adding, “We are poisoning our children.” On a radio show in 2023, he also said HFCS was clearly linked to the obesity and diabetes epidemics.
