2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans
Today's site from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services offers the
latest updated recommendations on nutrition and healthy eating. Gentle
Subscribers will find a comprehensive publication with the best information on
nutrition gleaned from scientific findings.
"The 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines is designed to help Americans eat a healthier
diet. Intended for policymakers and health professionals, this edition of the
Dietary Guidelines outlines how people can improve their overall eating
patterns -- the complete combination of foods and drinks in their diet. This
edition offers 5 overarching Guidelines and a number of Key Recommendations
with specific nutritional targets and dietary limits." - from the website
Although it frequently appears difficult to keep up with the latest nutrition
trends, the health department guidelines provide a straightforward position on
the most reliable nutrition research. This publication, designed in an
integrated book format, consists of a helpful introduction and three additional
chapters. The sidebar drop down links reveal an Introduction, an About This
Chapter, the principle topics covered, and a Summary for each of the chapters.
While this guide is intended for health professionals, its language is suitable
for informed consumers, the ultimate recipients of government policy on dietary
initiatives. The clearly stated Key Recommendations in the first chapter
encompass the direction of the latest scientific nutrition research.
