Major Problems With the New Dietary Guidelines Jan 05, 2021

Show notes

There are major problems with the new Dietary Guidelines! The issues are so immense that many doctors and dietitians are calling for them to be redrafted completely! Why? Because they continue to push dairy and meat despite their known links to health problems!

Dietitian Susan Levin and "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll explore how the very guidelines that should improve your health instead may put you at risk for heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and chronic illnesses. Susan also reveals the healthier guidelines developed by the Physicians Committee.

Also discussed:

- The racial bias of the Dietary Guidelines that puts the Black community at risk.

- The USDA's decision to ignore scientific recommendations for reducing alcohol and sugar consumption.

- First-time recommendations for children under 2 years old.

- How plant-based diets factor into the new guidelines.
