Kennedy has promoted pseudoscientific remedies including vitamin A for measles, peptides for longevity, and raw milk. He claimed diet can 'cure' schizophrenia and diabetes and allow people to rid themselves of bipolar disorder diagnoses, according to Robert F Kennedy Jr. Researchers say Kennedy's comments overstate current evidence about the role of food in managing illness.
Kennedy said 'Food is medicine, and you can heal yourself with a good diet' on Theo Von's podcast, according to The Independent - World. Dr. Christopher Palmer called Kennedy's claim inaccurate and prefers the word 'remission'.
Spiritual and physical maladies thrive on one another.
A UCLA study on keto diet for bipolar teens is still recruiting and will not be completed until March 2027, according to multiple reports. Kennedy said 'Our children are the sickest generation in modern history', but child mortality has fallen dramatically and life expectancy is at a record high, according to multiple reports. In congressional hearings, Rep.
Linda Sánchez asked if Trump approved ending CDC's pro-vaccine messaging campaign. Kennedy said 'You've got a lot of misinformation' in response. Rep.
Malevolent forces must be met with spiritual warfare, waged through the sacred ritual of eating dinner together as a family.
Mike Thompson said Kennedy is 'overruling doctors, scientists and public health experts' and noted nearly 2,300 measles cases under Trump and children have died. Rep. Judy Chu said it was 'incredibly harmful' to stop recommending hepatitis B vaccine at birth.
Kennedy said babies are at zero risk of hepatitis B unless mother is infected, but up to 500,000 pregnant patients are never tested. Sen. 5 million to near zero and deaths to zero after vaccine introduction.
Food is medicine, and you can heal yourself with a good diet.
House Democrats pressed Kennedy on Trump's mental fitness and the 25th Amendment. Kennedy called Trump 'very, very sane' and 'the most stable' president. More than 80 House Democrats urged Trump's Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment.
Rep. Mark Takano asked Kennedy if he would insist Trump undergo a mental fitness assessment; Kennedy said 'Absolutely not'. Kennedy described Trump's Truth Social post threatening Iran as a 'nuanced message'.
Our children are the sickest generation in modern history.
Rep. Jamie Raskin urged the White House physician to perform a cognitive exam on Trump. Kennedy was questioned about comments on black children and ADHD medication from a 2024 podcast.
Rep. Terri Sewell quoted Kennedy saying 'every black kid is now just standardly put on Adderall, SSRIs, benzos', according to Daily Mail - News. Kennedy responded he was not going to answer for something he didn't say.
You've got a lot of misinformation.
HHS announced steps to curb antidepressant use in the US. Kennedy claimed without evidence that antidepressants are linked to school shootings. A 2025 survey showed nearly 17% of US adults currently use antidepressants.
HHS issued a letter encouraging non-medication options for depression. The American Psychiatric Association supports the attention on mental health crisis but emphasizes evidence-based care. Kennedy unveiled an initiative to increase nutrition education in medical schools; 53 medical schools signed on as of Thursday morning.
I think you don't want to answer the question, because I think you know the terrible, terrible decisions that impact very, very real lives, especially the lives of children.
Schools will administer 40 hours of nutrition education starting autumn 2026. Kennedy said 'This is how we implement the Maha agenda'. Kennedy suggested he may seek to remove certain foods from the market if not proven safe.
HHS sent a memo urging hospitals to align food purchases with dietary guidelines or risk Medicaid/Medicare payments. Kennedy said 'We shouldn't be giving … people who are sick Jell-O and Cheerios and rubber chicken and sugar drinks'. HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon said the guidance does not establish new mandates or penalties.
Your dangerous conspiracy theories are undermining safe and effective vaccines.
Allies of Kennedy are worried he is being 'marginalized' by the Trump administration. Trump's Surgeon General pick Dr. Nicole Saphier was announced without Kennedy's significant input.
A Trump adviser called MAHA 'a little bit overrated' and 'a paper tiger', according to The Independent - Main. Senior Deputy Press Secretary Kush Desai said Kennedy remains deeply involved in Trump's health agenda. Erika Kirk arranged a White House meeting between Trump, Kennedy, and MAHA advocates.
Under just one year of President Trump, there are nearly 2,300 cases. Kids have died because measles is running rampant under your watch.
A poll showed nearly half of MAHA members believe Trump's administration has not met their goals. A February decision allowed Bayer to increase production of Roundup. Kennedy shared an AI-generated video of himself wrestling a Twinkie, despite saying during his confirmation hearing he wouldn't take away anyone's Big Macs or Twinkies.
He withdrew a proposed FDA rule to ban teens from using tanning beds, citing 'scientific and technical concerns'. Using tanning beds can triple melanoma risk; first use before age 35 increases risk by 75%, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation. Kennedy was asked by a TMZ reporter about a report he severed a dead raccoon's penis; he laughed but did not respond.
Babies are not at risk unless – essentially at zero risk – unless their mother is infected. For all mothers are tested when they go into the hospital to have a baby.
A 2001 diary entry by Kennedy described cutting the penis from a road-killed raccoon. Polling from Tony Fabrizio showed broad support for vaccines across party lines.
He's very, very sane.
Absolutely not.
You can look at it and say 'it's insane that he'd make this kind of threat.' But he's a deal-maker. He's a bargainer.
This is how we implement the Maha [Make America Healthy Again] agenda.
Every black kid is now just standardly put on Adderall, SSRIs, benzos, which are known to induce violence, and those children are going to have to go somewhere to get reparented.
We shouldn't be giving … people who are sick Jell-O and Cheerios and rubber chicken and sugar drinks.
