Dr. Vin Gupta Calls RFK Jr.’s Plan on Medical Schools and Nutrition ‘Good Salesmanship’

GUPTA: “Did RFK say anything about FDA regulation of supplements? No, he did not. Do they talk about SNAP and the catastrophic cuts to SNAP that allow people, vulnerable people who eat fast food, who have no other choice, to actually access fresh foods and vegetables? It’s one thing to say, 'Hey, doc, can I talk to you for 60 seconds more about nutrition' in your 15-minute visit, but what about the economics of healthier eating? They don’t talk about that. They also don’t talk about the fact that health insurance only, Molly, covers nutrition counseling through registered dietitians, who are the real experts here, for those who have an underlying chronic condition already, like diabetes or high blood pressure, not for the general public. So there’s insurance issues when it comes to accessing nutrition counseling, real expertise. We can’t — we’re not giving people who need access to fresh veggies the ability to do so from an economic standpoint. And, you know, what about supplements and regulation there, an actual meaningful study? So good salesmanship, the actual policy here, I think, is different from the intent."
