New Dietary Guidelines−What You Need to Know.

Have you heard about the new 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGAs)? According to the Physician’s Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), 8 out of the 9 authors of the report justifying these guidelines received compensation or research funding from organizations benefitting from these changes. The special interest groups that bankrolled this nutritional travesty include:

• The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association
• The National Dairy Council
• The Texas Beef Council
• General Mills

In an unprecedented bait and switch, these affiliations were made public only after the guidelines were released on January 7, which is standard for an administration that neither asks for permission, nor is unduly concerned with credible scientific research.

For the first time since 1980, after nine editions in 45 years, the standard scientific procedure for preparing this public health guide was completely bypassed.

Breaking radically with established visuals like MyPlate, the new model is an inverted pyramid, and that’s not the only thing that’s upside down. This radical shift in the way foods are prioritized is virtually the polar opposite to the current, science-based DGAs.

Astonishingly, the entire category of beans and legumes was deleted. The idea here, of course, is to elevate animal protein even beyond crowning the pyramid with it; healthy, high-protein plant staples are deprioritized or erased altogether.

Among other nutritional insults, these deliberately anti-science changes advise Americans to regularly consume beef and beef tallow, butter and whole milk products, all of which have been linked with heart disease and cancer in numerous studies.

The 2025-2030 GDAs are not only scientifically questionable and contradictory; they are the obvious product of extremist ideas, placing ideology and corporate interests over human health.
