Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Friday, February 06, 2026

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made an unfounded claim on Wednesday that the keto diet can cure schizophrenia. Health experts were quick to call the comment a vast overstatement regarding the relationship between the diet and the disorder. Kennedy made the comments while he was visiting Tennessee as part of a national tour to encourage Americans to "eat real food," according to The New York Times. During his visit to the Tennessee State Capitol, Kennedy said "we now know that the thing things that you eat are driving mental illness in this country," and claimed that a Harvard doctor had "cured schizophrenia using keto diets." Dr. Paul S. Appelbaum, professor of psychiatry at Columbia University and former president of the American Psychiatric Association, told The NYT that it is "simply misleading" to claim that schizophrenia symptoms can even be improved by the keto diet, never mind cured.

A UK nutritionist once said about the keto diet: "Run!"

This episode is why Dummkopf Trumpf appointed this lunatic to be HHS Secretary:

To destroy America from within with unvaccinated people spreading disease, life threatening poverty, untreated people with mental illness and substance abuse problems, nationwide firearms violence, an unhealthy population from malnutrition, and political and social discontent.

Taking away bricks from America's house one-by-one to lower our quality of life and longevity down to Russia's standard equalizes the demographic inequality between the US and Russia.

On Tuesday 5 Nov 2024, another day that will live in infamy, 76,535,898 imbeciles handed power over to selfish oligarchs, vicious self-serving lickspittles, treacherous quislings, and the Kremlin.

Consider the source: a felonious druggie and brain worm host with zero medical training.
I often think it's a shame Kurt Vonnegut isn't around for this MAGAt clus------.
Then again, it just might have broken his heart.

And large-scale environmental desecration.
