Academy Submits Recommendations to Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee
06/10/2020 - The Academy recognizes the enormous task in developing the 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the newly-required guidelines for Americans from birth to two-years-old. The Academy offers comments and recommendations related to the following issues:
Newly issued Draft Conclusions and the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee’s process leading to them.
The need for enhanced transparency throughout the DGA development process, including the need for transparency by the Departments after issuance of the Scientific Report as they draft the final guidelines.
The need to ensure the DGAs are relevant to the majority of Americans,
recognizing the prevalence and variety of overweight, obesity, and other nutrition-related chronic diseases among the general public for whom the guidelines are directed.
