Kennedy Wants to End 'War on Saturated Fats' with New Dietary Guidelines
Published 3 months, 1 week ago
Description
- Nearly 90% of U.S. health care spending now goes toward chronic disease, much of it driven by dietary guidance that favored processed foods over real, nourishing meals
- The new Dietary Guidelines for Americans reverse decades of low-fat advice and no longer treat saturated fats from whole foods as dietary threats
- Highly processed foods and added sugars are now explicitly identified as harmful because they disrupt appetite control, energy balance, and long-term metabolic health
- Excess linoleic acid (LA) from seed oils damages mitochondria, and keeping intake under 3 grams per day supports brain function, energy production and overall resilience
- Building meals around real protein, natural fats, and personalized portions restores appetite regulation and gives you lasting control over your health
