RFK Jr Implied Bacon Isn’t Processed – Is He Right?

US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr recently stated that he avoids processed foods and anything with more than three ingredients, but still eats bacon for breakfast as a protein source. However, bacon is classified as a Group 1 carcinogen by the WHO and is linked to an increased risk of cancer and other health issues. RFK Jr also snacks on plant-based foods and practices intermittent fasting, consuming a lot of food during his eating window.

During an episode of a podcast with Paul Saladino, RFK Jr discussed his daily routine, spirituality, and the MAHA Report on chronic illness. The report has faced criticism for citing nonexistent studies and misrepresenting actual research, and RFK Jr has made controversial statements about conditions like autism being linked to food and medications. Additionally, the NIH has been called out by scientists for politicizing the department and the scientific field, raising concerns about the credibility of RFK Jr's leadership.
