The 2015 and 2025 Dietary Guidelines
What were the Dietary Guidelines that were published for 2015? Can you remember any of them? What are the Dietary Guidelines for 2025? Did you read them? Here’s your chance.
The 2015 Dietary Guidelines were released 10 years ago; the 2025 version about a month ago. Research was reviewed. Meetings were held. Comments were given. Experts gave input to both. Millions of dollars were spent. Was there anything groundbreaking in the 2015 Guidelines? The 2025 version? Maybe you’ve heard about the emphasis on protein and saturated fat in the 2025 version.
Here’s what I want you to do: I want you to take about 10 minutes and read the summaries of each of the Dietary Guidelines at these links:
I edited the documents down to the visual summaries designed for consumers, because the actual guidelines exceed hundreds of pages and I know you don’t want to read that much. Let me know what you think, especially if you couldn’t answer the questions I posed in the beginning. Do your part, and I’ll give you my thoughts on Saturday.
What are you prepared to do today?
