It’s actually hard to believe that the first food pyramid came about 34 years ago. We have known the entire time that this information was contradictory to healthy eating, spanning my entire medical career, meaning we knew the information was wrong when it came out. As such this was a long overdo necessity. Unfortunately, this is only one of many fallacies which are widely accepted. I remain hopeful that this becomes a trend.
Under President Trump’s leadership, common sense, scientific integrity, and accountability have been restored to federal food and health policy.
For decades, the Dietary Guidelines favored corporate interests over common-sense, science-driven advice to improve the health of Americans.
That ends today.
The new Dietary Guidelines call for prioritizing high-quality protein, healthy fats, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains—and avoiding highly processed foods and refined carbohydrates.
