From Nina Teicholz
Dear Friend of the Nutrition Coalition:
We urgently need your help to ensure that the federal government does not continue to ignore large, government-funded rigorous clinical trials—the “gold standard” of evidence--that would likely reverse decades of misguided nutrition policy based on the subject of saturated fats.
During the recent meeting of the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, the last such meeting before release of the 2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA), the committee revealed that it had failed to consider any of this evidence.
This omission is highly disturbing given that a growing number of prominent scientists over the past decade have concluded that the caps on saturated fats are not supported by the science.
Americans deserve a recommendation on dietary saturated fat that is based on the most current and rigorous science available. Join us in calling on the 2020 DGA Advisory Committee to critically review the most up-to-date evidence and modify its position on saturated fats accordingly.
