Published 4 days, 3 hours ago
Description
The Trump administrations new dietary guidelines emphasize protein, reduce sugar, and limit processed foods for better health. Adults should aim for 1.2 to 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight daily, up from the previous 0.8 grams. The guidelines, released every five years, shape school meals and medical advice nationwide. The American Medical Association praised the focus on processed foods, sugary drinks, and excess sodium. The guidelines also encourage full-fat dairy, warn against artificial flavors and dyes, and advise consuming less alcohol. Officials plan reforms to future guideline processes, including a new federal definition for ultra-processed foods linked to health issues.
