Trump’s MAHA Commission announcement mentioned ADHD medications as a burden for US kids and a “dire threat.”
Not mentioned: FIREARMS, the leading killer of US children over age 1.
Shocker.

But people are so desperate for the "secret" to an optimal diet that they latch on.
There's no secret. There's only grift.

Far more interesting than the possibility she's making this up is that she believes it because she visited an Italian border and someone told her Turkey was the other side. The famous Turkish alps. Currently full of skiers. Drinking Turkish vin chaud. Eating delicious levantine Raclette.
