Dietary Guidelines – Barbara Schneeman, DGC Chair

from Farm To Table Talk

Every five years the US Government develops and publishes \"Dietary Guidelines For Americans\". The Guidelines for 2020 - 20225 have now been released by the two responsible agencies, USDA and HHS. New approaches have been taken to identify diet patterns for various life stages. The report follows the recommendations of the Dietary Guidelines Committee of experts, except for two areas. The Committee recommended that \"added sugar\" limits should be reduced from 10% to 6% and that if men drink alcohol it should be limited to no more than one drink per day as it is currently for women and not two drinks as has been the guidance for men. Chair of the Committee, Dr. Barbara Schneeman (UC Davis, USDA, FDA) explains the process, the findings and significance of the new guidelines. MyPlate.org
