RFK Jr. plans to promote raw milk as health secretary despite safety concerns

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been named as Donald Trump's secretary of Health and Human Services. He plans to promote the legalization of raw milk, which has raised concerns among public health experts about its safety. Raw milk sales have increased by 65% this year, despite warnings from health officials. Experts highlight the risks of dangerous pathogens in unpasteurized milk, which can lead to severe illnesses, especially in vulnerable populations. The CDC and FDA report that raw milk has caused thousands of illnesses and several deaths in the past two decades. As Kennedy begins his role, health officials emphasize the importance of food safety and the risks associated with raw milk consumption.
