During a recent press conference, President Trump and HHS Secretary Kennedy promoted leucovorin as a treatment for autism, misleadingly linking it to a supposed cure. However, scientific evidence does not support leucovorin's efficacy for autism, and its FDA approval pertains only to a rare condition, cerebral folate transport deficiency, not autism broadly.

A study published in BMJ Evidence-Based Medicine indicates that any level of alcohol consumption correlates with a higher risk of dementia, with no evidence supporting the neuroprotective effects of moderate drinking. It further emphasizes the toxic impact alcohol has on neurons and discourages the belief that low alcohol levels are beneficial.
