Recently, a video of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on a plane caught the attention of social media users.

In the footage, the 72-year-old is seen adding a mysterious cobalt-blue liquid to what seems like a cup of water.

The video quickly went viral, sparking curiosity and speculation online.

People began questioning what exactly the liquid was, with some making light-hearted jokes about it, like calling it “liberals’ tears,” a playful jab at RFK Jr.’s controversial nomination for head of the Department of Health and Human Services under President Trump.

What’s in the Blue Liquid?

While the video raised many questions, one thing remains unclear: when and where it was filmed.

There’s no confirmation about whether RFK Jr. actually drank the concoction, leaving room for speculation.

Some experts believe the blue liquid might be methylene blue, a synthetic dye that’s recently gained popularity in wellness circles for its potential health benefits.

Methylene blue has been researched for its possible effects on aging, dementia, Lyme disease, and even cancer, though most studies have been conducted on animals or human cells rather than people.

The compound made headlines last month when Mel Gibson claimed that his friends had recovered from stage four cancer after taking a regimen that included methylene blue.

However, this claim has been widely criticized by medical professionals as misleading.

Methylene Blue: A History and Modern Uses

Originally used as a dye in the late 19th century, methylene blue has a long history in science.

It was first employed to treat malaria in 1891 and has since been used to treat methemoglobinemia, a rare blood disorder that prevents proper oxygen transport.

Although it’s FDA-approved for specific medical conditions, its use extends beyond these traditional applications.

Dr. Jesse Morse, a Florida-based sports medicine physician, shared his thoughts on the video, identifying the substance as methylene blue.

He explained that the dye has become popular for its claimed benefits in brain health, energy optimization, anti-aging, and even treatment for conditions like Alzheimer’s and Lyme disease.

Research has shown that methylene blue may have antioxidant properties that could help reduce toxic proteins in the brain, potentially aiding those with dementia. However, experts stress that more studies are needed to confirm its efficacy.

The Debate Around Methylene Blue

Though methylene blue has shown promise in various studies, it comes with mixed opinions.

Some research suggests it could act as a photosensitizer, helping light therapies target and kill cancer cells.

But there’s also evidence to suggest that high doses of methylene blue might increase the risk of cancer.

Another study in 2017 pointed out that the compound may help protect skin from UV damage and signs of aging, offering antioxidant effects that support moisture retention.

Social media users have had their own take on the video, with some applauding RFK Jr. for possibly using methylene blue in his drink.

One Twitter user wrote, “Guy’s a machine. Confirm him now.” Another joked, “RFK Jr., supplementing his drink with Liberal Tears.”

Possible Side Effects of Methylene Blue

While methylene blue may have its benefits, it’s not without side effects.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, common reactions include blue urine, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headache, and skin discoloration.

It’s also worth noting that the video surfaced just days after some users noticed RFK Jr. potentially using a Zyn nicotine pouch during his confirmation hearing.

Whether or not the blue liquid was methylene blue, the video sparked a wave of conversation and speculation across social media, leaving people intrigued about what RFK Jr. may be consuming on his flight.
