The Dietary Guidelines for Americans: What Changed and Why It Matters

from Cancer Nutrition HQ · host Krystle Zuniga PhD, RD, CSO

This episode covers the release of the 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. I walk through how the Dietary Guidelines are traditionally developed, including the role of scientific experts, public comment, and the translation of evidence into policy. I then share my concerns about changes in transparency and scientific rigor in this edition, highlight specific contradictions within the guidelines, and explain why these recommendations will not be changing how I practice or communicate nutrition. ------------------2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans - Jan 2026 The Scientific Foundation For The Dietary Guidelines For Americans - Jan 2026 (the report from the new administration's selected panel)Scientific Report of the 2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisor Committee - December 2024 (The original committee's report)World Cancer Research Fund Cancer Prevention RecommendationsSend us Fan MailFollow me on Instagram @cancernutritionhqwww.cancernutritionhq.com
