Default New Paper in Nat'l Academies of Sciences' Journal finds Major Flaws

Our Outdated, Unscientific Dietary Guidelines

Quote:
Why do kids in public schools get served donuts and orange juice for breakfast, a meal guaranteed to send blood sugars soaring, rather than a sugar-free, protein-rich option, like scrambled eggs? The unfortunate answer is that the donut meal accords with our nation’s top nutrition policy, the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which despite its influence has been found by a new study to contain outdated science and not reflect the “preponderance of scientific and medical knowledge,” as required by law.


My italics. A Nina Teicholz post from August 18th, 2022, tells the sad story.

Quote:
To my knowledge, it is the most comprehensive critique of the Dietary Guidelines to date, written by top experts who include three former members of the very expert committees (called the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, or DGAC) that reviewed the science for past versions of the guidelines. Yet now, they view this policy as flawed.

More recently, a former DGAC member wrote:

Quote:
“Despite our evidence-based review lens where we say that food policies are ‘science based,’ in reality we often let our personal biases override the scientific evidence.”


It's a big read, but with a lot of good information. It also indicates that a lot of science keeps piling up.

The key thing for me was how updating the guidelines for evaluation could result in the better science being heard, and faster, moving forward.
