The evidence that ketogenic diet might help with schizophrenia symptom remission comes from two case reports that Palmer published in Schizophrenia Research in 2019. When discussing them, Palmer was quick to emphasise that “yes, it’s only two”, and that “case reports don’t prove anything. They’re not controlled. They come with tremendous amounts of bias.” But, Palmer noted, that can be important for generating hypotheses about what treatments might work. Palmer thought it was valuable to publish these case reports because remission of schizophrenia symptoms is incredibly rare.

Two case studies! The scientist quoted knows that it means nothing! Don't read one article that might show something that confirms your bias and go "this is real."

No evidence behind most of what this walking crime against humanity says

Has anyone found evidence behind the claim that RJK Jr can integrate novel information?

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

Look at the last year.

Now imagine permanently living in a conservative America.

That's a reality we're actually facing because Americans can't get their shit together.

Who would have guessed you could cure mental illness back thousands of years by eating exclusively chicken.

That's a carnivore diet. A ketogenic diet can be vegan.

Not that I'm recommending a vegan keto diet, I'm just saying you got your diets mixed up.

[–] RoidingOldMan@lemmy.world 7 points 2 hours ago

When has RFK ever suggested a vegan diet? The article referenced a "red meat, whole milk and animal fats" diet. So my mistake I should have said steak not chicken.

Isn't a keto diet dangerous without a prior check-up?

Unless I'm mistaken he doesn't even make money off the keto diet, this is just stupidity for stupidity's sake

[–] santa@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 hour ago

He makes money off of stupidity, though; his and others.

[–] Carnelian@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

It’s more insidious than that. In general, meat forward diet influencers are entry points into the conservative pipeline. You start out seeking to improve your health and very quickly end up exposed to jordan peterson types who will ominously warn you of the “normalization of inadequacy” among the general public and suggest progressively more conservative content as a pathway to achieving your full potential.

So in essence, though he may not seem to directly benefit, by highlighting these types of diets he knows plenty of people will hop on youtube or whatever and get algorithm’d right back into the broader MAHA/MAGA sphere

Don’t those who experience seizures eat a keto diet?

[–] Zier@fedia.io 0 points 1 hour ago

"RFK Jr’s claim keto diet can cure schizophrenia" But RFK jr is living proof that it's not true or he would no longer be schizo. Go away raw milk boy.

Color me shocked!
