Yet Harvard psychiatrist Dr. Christopher Palmer, whose research Kennedy likely relied on, says he \u201cnever once used the word \u2018cure\u2019\u201d in his work, according to The Guardian.<\/a><\/p>\n Palmer published two case studies<\/a> in 2019 examining the link between schizophrenia symptom remission and a ketogenic diet\u2014which involves eating high-fat, low-carbohydrate foods\u2014and found that while the diet may ease symptoms, it does not \u201ccure\u201d the serious mental health condition, which can cause hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking and behavior.<\/p>\n \u201cI have never claimed to have cured any mental illness, including schizophrenia,\u201d Palmer said, highlighting that his work is based on \u201conly two\u201d case studies, which can come with \u201ctremendous amounts of bias.\u201d<\/p>\n Kennedy, who is known for spreading anti-vaccine claims unsupported by research<\/a>, for getting basic biology wrong<\/a>, and for having no formal medical or scientific training, himself does not follow the keto diet he praises. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n Instead, the leader of the \u201cMake America Healthy Again\u201d movement follows the \u201ccarnivore diet<\/a>,\u201d which allows only meat, poultry, eggs, seafood, fish, and some dairy. <\/p>\n \u201cYou know, I am on a carnivore diet, so I just eat meat and ferments, and I\u2019m very happy with that,\u201d Kennedy said ahead of the Super Bowl, when Fox News\u2019 Sunday Briefing host Peter Doocy asked what he would snack on for the unofficial American holiday, which is known for staples like chicken wings, nachos, pizza, and dips.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m going to probably have a yogurt,\u201d Kennedy revealed\u2014prompting online ridicule over his snack choice.<\/a><\/p>\n The secretary\u2019s new pyramid mirrors some of his own eating habits, including red meat and animal fats, which directly contradict decades of recommendations and scientific evidence urging people to consume less saturated fat and more unsaturated fats.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Despite skepticism from the scientific community, Kennedy\u2019s tour promoting his MAHA agenda shows no signs of slowing down. The 72-year-old recently teamed up with 55-year-old MAGA rocker Kid Rock to film a video of the pair toasting glasses of whole milk and working out together.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve teamed up with @KidRock to deliver two simple messages to the American people: GET ACTIVE + EAT REAL FOOD,\u201d Kennedy posted on X last week.<\/p>\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IOQICY6PSJGLJAZHQXT42YTP4U.png\")
