On January 13 the USA released its new dietary guidelines to the public.
The new U.S.A. dietary guidelines call for Americans to reduce their calorie intake and increase their amount of exercise.
Released by the departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Services, the guidelines form the basis for federal nutrition programs and will be used to update the U.S. food pyramid for the first time since it was developed 12 years ago.
We believe this update is long overdue.
The new recommendations drew heavily from a series of Institute of Medicine reports that examine which nutrients are necessary for good health, and in what quantities. The reports establish reference values called Dietary Reference Intakes for a number of nutrients, including sodium, water, and fats.
