Health Influencer flocked to the White House last week to the publication of a report of the “Make America Health Again” (MAH) commission headed by Health Minister Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Donald Trump to participate.
Criticism of the state of health of American children
The 72-page document entitled “The Maha Report: Make Our Children Healthy Again” claims that “today’s children are the most sick generation in American history when it comes to chronic diseases”. And refers to his analysis of the causes of chronic diseases in childhood. While parts of the report blame poor nutrition, environmental chemicals and over -medication, other parts contradict the scientific consensus.
Appearance of Carnivore MD: Raw milk in the White House
This has the mood in the White House, which is one Meeting point Of course, not cloudy for Pro-Trump propagandists and Maga influencers. In one video Paul Saladino, MD, filmed in a room full of podcaster on social media. Saladino is an influencer with almost three million followers who are committed to an animal diet and is also known as Carnivore MD. He bragged about that in addition to the interview with Kennedy, he but also his own lunch Raw milk and brought raw meat with them. “I am in Washington to hear the great announcement of the Maha report about chronic diseases,” said Saladino.

There is a video in which Saladino drinks with the podcasters Max Lugavere and Brigham Buhler raw milk and honey. Whereupon Lugavere laughs. “We will now call so many food scientists on the schedule.”
A wave of the Raw milk evangelization Under conservative, anti-establishment personalities such as kennedy,, Tradwives and Homesteader Maga’s recent fight against science has led on social media. There is hardly any evidence of the health benefits of consumption of unpasteurized milk. But the Risks are well documented. People who drink raw milk are exposed to risks. Above all, to become infected with the bird flu virus H5N1, E. coli, salmonella and campylobacter bacteria.
Warning of the FDA
Between 2009 and 2014, raw milk and raw milk cheese-which are only consumed by 3.2 percent or 1.6 percent of the US population-were responsible for 96 percent of milk contamination. This is evidenced by a study from 2017 in Emerging InfectIoS Diseasesone of experts examined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Before the Introduction of commercial pasteurization in urban areas at the beginning of the 20th century diseases transmitted by milk like diphtheria, tuberculosis and “Summer diarrhea“A serious danger to public health.
To say it clearly. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) explained In a recommendation from March 2024, the risks. “Raw milk can contain a variety of pathogens. numerous scientific Studies.. “
Distrust of the health system
However, the increasing popularity of raw milk products goes hand in hand with a growing distrust of the American health system. “People trust that [amerikanischen] Health system not. And that for good reason, ”said Celine Gunder, MdSpecialist for infectious diseases and epidemiologist at the New York University and at the Bellevue Hospital and editor for public health at Kff Health Newsopposite Rolling Stone. “It is primarily about profit, not about the care of the patients or promoting a healthy population.” When people are poorly cared for by the health system, according to Gouder, they look for alternatives such as the consumption of raw milk that give them a feeling of control.
Now, of course, the Supreme Health Authority of the United States-the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs-and important authorities such as the FDA and the CDC of Kennedy and other allies of its Maha movement are being monitored.
Political dimension: Control by the Maha movement
The Maha Commission’s report tried to address many of the health problems of children in the United States. And came to the general consensus that poor nutrition, lifestyle and the stress of environmental toxins are harmful. But he does not respond to the socio -economic inequalities that lead to chronic diseases.
“Although they recognize that ultra-processed foods are cheaper. But they do not recognize that growing poverty and the gap between poor and rich lead to more and more people and children are dependent on cheaper foods”, ” said Carmen Marsit, professor of environmental health at Emory University, to NPR.
The Maha report also questions the current vaccination plan. And thus joins Kennedy’s demands, a long -time opponent of vaccination who recently admitted that he not for Keeps qualified to provide medical advice.
