New 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans

Posted: 2016-01-11
The new U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans were released on January 7, 2016. Following are a few opinion articles that followed their release: The 2015 Dietary Guidelines at Long Last; Dietitians Response to the 2015 Dietary Guidelines: 'The American Public Needs More Forceful Messages'; Foodminds Infographic Shows Evolution of U.S. Dietary Guidelines; and How America's new Diet Guidelines Stack Against Australia's. While the new guidelines are designed for professionals and focus more on dietary patterns of eating, they are vague in their recommendations and may need translating for consumers to understand.
