New U.S. Dietary Guidelines Urge Less Processed Food, More Whole Foods
2 weeks ago
Federal health officials have released the 2025–2030 U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans, calling on people to cut back on highly processed foods and added sugars while eating more whole foods and protein.
The guidelines, updated every five years as required by law, also advise limiting saturated fats and avoiding prepared or packaged foods that are heavily processed.
“These recommendations provide the foundation for federal nutrition programs and policies, helping Americans make healthier food choices,” officials said.
Research shows that most Americans currently fall short of following the dietary guidance, which aims to promote long-term health and reduce the risk of diet-related diseases.
