Can We Trust Our Dietary Guidelines? (Part 3: Beyond The Pyramid)
The U.S. government has been making nutrition recommendations for well over 100 years. More recently, however, people have started questioning these guidelines, with concerns around the influences of big food and big agriculture. Social media is ablaze with cries of corruption and deception. Health professionals are being called into question, as are the real motives behind these health recommendations. So join us, two Registered Dietitians, in the last episode of this three part series, where we answer the question: Can we actually trust The Dietary Guidelines for Americans?
