RFK Jr.’s FDA Pick: Cooking Classes Over Insulin for Diabetics
FDA Commissioner Marty Makary controversially suggested that cooking classes might be a more effective diabetes treatment than insulin alone, despite overwhelming scientific evidence supporting insulin’s safety and efficacy. This statement promotes a report from the Trump administration’s “Make America Healthy Again” commission, which advocates for a proactive healthcare system. However, the commission, led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has faced criticism for promoting unsubstantiated claims regarding vaccines, fluoride, and food dyes. Makary’s remarks thus align with a broader initiative criticized for prioritizing unproven approaches over established medical consensus.
