Here is why the new #Amercican #dietary #guidelines (#DGA) are a recipe for poorer #health.

@thelancet

- the new DGA do not acknowledge important barriers to healthy eating (human behaviours, insufficient personal resources...)
- the new DGA largely dismiss many science-based findings
- the new DGA assume, against existing evidence, that simply recommending “the best possible diet” without regard to socioeconomic circumstances, the food environment, or commercial determinants of health will change behaviours
- the new DGA are inconsistent (i.e., respecting one guideline means breaking another one)
