A new Harris Poll conducted on behalf of CNBC has revealed that nearly half of all millennials born between 1981 and 1988 suffer from at least one chronic health condition that majorly inhibits their ability to live and function normally.
Perhaps the unhealthiest American generation to date, millennials are so stricken with chronic health problems that many “experts” are speculating that some of them might not make it, especially when the situation is compounded by rising inflation, stagnant wages and an all-around garbage economy.
While generations prior had cleaner food and better opportunities, millennials are struggling just to survive with poor health, crippling student loan debt, skyrocketing housing prices and now forced isolation due to the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19). All of this is a perfect storm for generational collapse.
“Hypertension, diabetes, and obesity drives a lot of that,” says Dr. Georges Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association, further adding that such conditions are also a recipe for cancer.
What this suggests, of course, is that millennials who were forced to grow up eating genetically modified organisms (GMOs) – the first generation to do so, by the way, since GMOs were first released in the early 1990s – are now paying a price that their parents and grandparents thankfully avoided.
Millennials were also jabbed with far more vaccines than any other generation prior, which has created a health nightmare for these middle-aged Americans who will more than likely have a much lower lifespan than those who came before them.
Many millennials don’t have insurance, which means they have to pay out-of-pocket for medical care
The most common chronic health condition reported among older millennials is migraine headaches, followed by major depression, asthma, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, neurodevelopmental disease, eating disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, high cholesterol, psychotic disorders, hyperactivity, obesity, alcohol use, substance use, tobacco use, heart disease, cancer, kidney disease and fibromyalgia.
Not only do such conditions threaten the long-term viability of a millennial’s life, but they also threaten their bank accounts. This especially true for millennials who do not have health insurance, and are thus forced to pay out-of-pocket for their medical care.

Yes. I am a millennial, and while I’m lucky in that I’m sturdy, all my problems are emotional ones… I can see that many in my bracket are not so strong of body. I will confess I didn’t think it was so bad until I read this, in that all the bits and snippets I’ve noticed since 2000 or so came together. Not good. Makes me wonder about the Zoomers, or whatever the generation after me is officially called. Things were bad when I was a lad, but things are worse now.

There’s a lot going on with millennials and health. GMO foods are only a part of it. If you’re watched what people buy in the grocery store, you might get a good idea of the nutritional value of the US diet. The South may be worse, but the South can’t be blamed for McDonald’s and other fast-food, garbage-food chains.
I’ve claimed for years that US Americans are sub-clinically malnourished because of their high-calorie, low-nutrient diets. As a member of the generation that spawned the millennials–I’ll be 69 in August–I know the millennials’ parents grew up on television advertising that glorified processed and packaged foods. Since salt and sugar are preservatives, processed and packaged foods contain high levels of, sugar, salt, and a variety of chemicals. Even the plastic used to package these foods break down into hormone-disrupting micro-particles that are filling the oceans and working their way up the food chain.
The chronic illnesses mentioned in the article can all be loosely correlated to lifestyle, including stress and stress consumption, including drugs and alcohol. I suspect that nutrient deprivation may contribute to over-eating, as part of the body’s effort to obtain the nutrients that it needs but doesn’t get in today’s fare.
The lack of insurance is a side issue, I believe, because a healthy diet and healthy lifestyle might obviate the need for other health care and health care insurance. It can be argued that health maintenance is the best insurance there is, and it’s free.

And don’t forget all the vaccines we gave millenials, Katherine. I’m fascinated by the two longitudinal studies between vaccinated and unvaccinated children. Asthma and food allergies are strikingly absent in the unvaccinated group.

I didn’t know that, but I’m not surprised, Dr. B. My personal belief is that all these vaccines and other “medical care” play havoc with the body’s natural defenses against pathogens. People reach the point where their bodies are confused about which is friend and which is foe. Thus, we get these so-called :auto-immune diseases”, in which the body fights itself.
