“If the DGA that came out had not been compromised at all, if it had pretty much followed scientifically sound recommendation and they’d shown their justification, then we would not have released [the #UncompromisedDGA]."
Nutrition experts warn that the new recommendations include contradictions and conflicts of interest, and that the guidelines may not prompt the shakeup the administration anticipates.

Our partners at AND rightly point out the contradiction in the new Dietary Guidelines: "emphasis on butter, beef tallow, red meat and full fat dairy is inconsistent with the recommendation of limiting saturated fat to 10% of total calories."
📄 The Academy acknowledges the release of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2025–2030 (DGAs). While many recommendations align with longstanding nutrition science, other elements raise significant concerns.

We actually did the math, and if you tried to follow the new DGA recommended servings of different food groups you'd very likely end up eating as much as 3x more saturated fat than the guidelines recommend. How are consumers supposed to follow guidelines that contradict themselves?

This level of contradiction is unacceptable given the Secretaries had clear, transparent, evidence-based recommendations at their disposal. While the meat and dairy industries may be excited about the new food pyramid, the American public should not be.

This will create confusion and additional barriers to getting vaccines for families across the US!

If you’re making cookies or cakes for the holidays, watch out: titanium dioxide, a food color additive that can potentially cause DNA damage, is in hundreds of Christmas treats. It's used to make food more white, so you can find it in a lot of icing products, like Betty Crocker Decorating Icing.
