Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s FDA Wish List: Raw Milk, Stem Cells, Heavy Metals

Published On Nov 12, 2024, 9:44 AM

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., serving as an adviser to President-elect Donald J. Trump on health matters, has openly criticized the FDA for its regulatory approach toward certain treatments. He has threatened to dismiss FDA employees involved in what he perceives as harmful actions against alternative health products and therapies. Kennedy's positions resonate particularly with conservative voters, emphasizing a focus on the issues surrounding ultraprocessed foods and unapproved medical treatments, including ivermectin and raw milk. Trump's support for Kennedy could suggest significant changes within public health policies, which may impact FDA operations.
