Scientific report of the Advisory Committee for the 2025 Dietary Guidelines published
USA
Dec 13, 2024
The Scientific Report of the 2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (Scientific Report) has been submitted to the Secretaries of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and is now available online. The departments have opened a 60-day comment period to collect input from the public on the Scientific Report.
The committee’s advice would strengthen the Dietary Guidelines by emphasizing consumption of fruits, vegetables, plant-based proteins, and whole grains, while limiting red or processed meat, refined grains, and foods high in saturated fat, sodium, and added sugar. The Departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Services should follow the DGAC’s evidence-based recommendation to maintain current recommended limits on saturated fat, added sugar, and sodium, despite inevitable opposition from the food industry.
