“ public health advocates say Kennedy’s exaggerations are part of a pattern in which he cherry-picks and misrepresents scientific research, a tendency that he has regularly applied to vaccine science, enraging doctors.
It is the latest example of Kennedy being “incredibly careless and irresponsible” in talking about health issues, said Kayla Hancock, director of a public health project at the advocacy group Protect Our Care. “

Can diet 'cure' disease? What RFK Jr. gets right and wrong
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is promoting food as medicine, but experts say he's overstating what diet can do for serious illness. He's said diet can cure schizophrenia and diabetes, and let people rid themselves of bipolar disorder diagnoses. Researchers say Kennedy is exaggerating current evidence about the real and promising role that food can play in managing illness. Some public health advocates say they're concerned his imprecise language could drive people to self-medicate with food while avoiding proven treatments. But at least one expert in diet-related conditions says he welcomes more attention on how diet can improve chronic disease.
