The White House says the mistakes in the detailed report will be fixed.
The White House plans to fix errors in Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s "Make America Healthy Again" report.
Released last week, Kennedy's report cited hundreds of studies, but a closer look by the news organization NOTUS found that some of those studies did not actually exist.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that it will be updated, the Associated Press noted.
NOTUS reported that seven of the over 500 studies cited in the "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA) report did not appear to have ever been published.
Citing NOTUS, the Associated Press reported that the author of one study confirmed that while she did research on the topics of anxiety in children, she never authored the report listed. Some studies were also misinterpreted in the "Make America Healthy Again" report. The citations were on topics involving children's screen time, medication use and anxiety.

Kennedy Jr. has refused to give details about who authored the 72-page report, which pushes for more assessments of the childhood vaccine schedule and describes the nation's children as overmedicated and undernourished, the AP noted.
According to the AP, this report is supposed to be used to develop policy recommendations that will be released later in 2025, and the White House has requested $500 million in funding from Congress for Kennedy's MAHA initiative.
The report comes days after Kennedy Jr. said Tuesday that COVID-19 vaccines were no longer recommended for healthy children and pregnant women.
