The Dietary Guidelines for Americans: What Changed and Why It Matters - Cancer Nutrition HQ | Lyssna här

This episode covers the release of the 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. I walk through how the Dietary Guidelines are traditionally developed, including the role of scientific experts, public comment, and the translation of evidence into policy. I then share my concerns about changes in transparency and scientific rigor in this edition, highlight specific contradictions within the guidelines, and explain why these recommendations will not be changing how I practice or communicate nutrition.
