Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claimed that the ketogenic diet could cure schizophrenia. Harvard psychiatrist Christopher Palmer, MD, called this statement inaccurate and exaggerated. In 2019, Palmer described in a study two patients with long-standing schizophrenia who achieved complete resolution of symptoms after starting a ketogenic diet. These patients stopped taking antipsychotic drugs and remained in remission for many years. Most of the studies testing the ketogenic diet for mental health disorders, including the Stanford study, did not have a normal diet control group.[1]
