Every five years, the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) -- a commission of 20 “nationally recognized experts” in nutrition and dietary health -- releases a report outlining the federal government’s dietary guidelines. These guidelines are intended to provide an empirical dietary recommendation for American’s based on the best available science. Unfortunately, the recently released 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans have come under fire from a multitude of medical experts for flawed methodology and incomprehensive review of the existing literature.
