RFK Jr.’s Junk Science Diet
His MAHA ideas about food are built on some of the same lies as his antivax campaign.

While Kennedy’s progressive-sounding ideas about unhealthy food and industrial agriculture are more popular than his retrograde theories about lifesaving vaccines, many of them are just as pseudoscientific, conspiratorial, and wrong. In fact, they’re grounded in the same strain of sloppy and simplistic thinking popular with biohackers and yogis on the right and left, the naturalistic fallacy that anything “unnatural”—including genetically modified crops, pasteurized milk, fake meat, and chemical pesticides as well as mRNA jabs—must be bad for our health and our planet.
It’s woo-woo nonsense—the kind that results in the nation’s top health official urging Americans to binge on fries (as long as they’re made with beef tallow rather than seed oils) and Coke (as long as it’s made with cane sugar rather than high-fructose corn syrup). The inconvenient truth is that you shouldn’t worry about seed oils or GMOs; that “natural” cane sugar is just as unhealthy as processed corn syrup; that plant-based meat isn’t health food but is already healthier than cow-based meat; and that while some agrichemicals are genuinely dangerous, the weed killer glyphosate, Public Enemy Number One for Kennedy’s Make America Healthy Again movement, is unusually benign.

Pretty sure diabetes doesn't care what kind of sugar you use. I use coconut sugar. Slightly better than cane but not much.
Enjoy your fake meat. Personally I would rather die younger than eat that crap. It tastes like what someone that has never had meat thinks meat tastes like.
Amen to this. I refuse to eat fake meat, that stuff is nasty.
A date made me try it. She really wanted me and everyone to make the switch to being vegetarian. Claimed I would like it. She lied. That stuff was awful. They shoul call it Beyond Disgusting. There is a reason I am not with her anymore.
I was in Chicago a couple Summers ago, and came upon an animal rights protest. A guy cornered me and tried to convince me that I only liked steak and beef because of the "flavorings" that I added to them.
I just told him, "I think you are wrong, but if you will excuse me, I'm off to find a good burger."
And the dirty secret about fake meats are that they are highly-processed, with fillers and other stuff added in.
We don't use much of the veggie meat like substance now that my vegan daughter has loosened the reins, but my wife does make a very good taco soup with it. Better than with real ground beef... But it does not win in the primary role of making hamburgers.
The problem with high fructose corn syrup isn't that the body sees it differently than any form of sucrose, but that it is cheap. It makes those 64 oz mega-gulps pennies on the gallon. Sucrose is broken down to fructose and glucose within minutes of hitting the stomach, regardless of the source!

Actually, I think there's some recent research showing that HFCS has some unique dangers of its own...
I can't find anything new... Last big study was in 2022 and that showed general equivalency. Some weak data suggested slightly higher CRP levels with HFCS, but the net effect appears to be similar.
Make sure that is actual research and not a political screed!
Gemini says... Whilst rotting my brain like HCFS rots teeth...
"Recent research shows High-Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) and sugar (sucrose) have nearly identical metabolic effects, with both causing significant health issues like obesity and fatty liver when consumed in excess. While some studies suggest slightly higher inflammation (CRP levels) with HFCS, most evidence indicates they are functionally equivalent.
Key findings regarding HFCS vs. Sugar:
- Minimal Metabolic Difference: A 2022 meta-analysis found no significant differences between HFCS and sucrose in terms of weight, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, or cholesterol.
- Equivalent Metabolic Response: Studies indicate that the body metabolizes both sweeteners similarly, and they are largely indistinguishable in their effects on blood sugar, insulin, and fat accumulation.
- Inflammation and Specific Risks: Some studies suggest HFCS may increase C-reactive protein (CRP) levels more than sucrose, indicating a potential for higher inflammation. Other research has pointed to potential issues with gut health and a more rapid contribution to fatty liver, though this is often associated with the high, consistent intake of processed foods rather than the ingredient itself.
- The Real Issue: The primary concern for health is the high amount of added sugar, rather than the specific type. Both sweeteners, when consumed in excess, are strongly linked to obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome."
i'm sure it will just be ignored like everything else, but it's at least some pushback on this inbred idiot junkie
A federal judge on Monday blocked Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s changes to vaccine policy, including the reduction of the recommended childhood immunizations and his remaking of a key vaccine advisory panel.
U.S. District Judge Brian E. Murphy, a Biden appointee, granted a motion by the American Academy of Pediatrics for a preliminary injunction against the reduced childhood immunization schedule earlier this year, along with the remaking of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, invalidating all votes made by the committee since.

Ahh, we are speaking to the same point!
High levels of fructose intake just aren't good for you, particularly if it hits the digestive track in the form of a sweetened liquid where absorption is rapid. It can then overload the liver where it is turned to triglycerides (i.e. "fat") and can increase risk of fatty liver disease or NASH.
Doesn't really matter if HFCS or sucrose, the body pretty much sees it the same.
Fructose at a lower level bound up in the fibrous matrix of a fruit is absorbed more slowly, doesn't achieve problematic serum levels, and is good for you given the fiber and vitamin content of the fruit.
7 people in the U.S. sickened by E. coli linked to cheese made from raw milk, FDA says
At least seven people in three states, including young children, have been sickened by E. coli food poisoning linked to cheddar cheese made from raw milk, federal health officials said Monday.

They need Alexander Shunnarah to start running the lawsuits against them!
Sec. Kennedy: Mercury is absolutely—it’s the most powerful neurotoxin we know of in the universe.
Rep. Harder: So why are you working for an administration that is doubling the amount of mercury pollution in our air and water?
Sec. Kennedy: I am running HHS and I’m ending the chronic disease epidemic. I’m not going to comment on that because I don’t know anything about it.
Rep. Harder: Well, that’s very convenient for you, and it shows a significant degree of cowardice. It’s not just mercury. President Trump in July 2025 granted 50 chemical plants—
Sec. Kennedy: Why don’t you ask me something that I’m in charge of instead of other things?
Rep. Harder: Are you not in charge of Health and Human Services?
Botulinum toxin and Tetrodotoxin are on line #2 wanting to discuss the labelling as most potent neurotoxin... Because mercury is toxic, but not in their neighborhood.
