The Victorian mentality of “I saw alcohol kill bacteria under the microscope so I’m prescribing vodka to everyone.” Good that everyone is sane in this century and no public figures make deductions like these anymore.
In John Harvey Kellogg’s case, it was even worse. Much like the guy who invented graham crackers, it was “So drunkenness leads to cirrhosis, gluttony leads to obesity, pre-condom promiscuity leads to syphilis, sports lead to injuries, and laziness leads to being a soft couch potato. Clearly this means that pleasure is actually bad and you should make sure you don’t eat anything that tastes good, don’t drink, don’t lift weights, never have sex except to produce one or two children, don’t play sports, don’t listen to music, don’t have fun, don’t enjoy anything”

First of all, obvious sarcasm.
Second, the reference is Trump’s sanitizer idea or this comic.
I love me some heart dewormer, though
