According to a joint statement from the USDA and FDA, the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) originally formulated by the Biden administration late last year will be getting a makeover under President Trump’s new MAHA Commission.
While that makeover isn’t expected until year’s end, the basic contours of the new guidelines are starting to take shape thanks to input from both within and outside of the government.

Yhdysvallat|Robert F. Kennedy Jr. uskoo, että lisättyä sokeria ei pitäisi käyttää lainkaan.
Terveysministeri Robert F. Kennedy puhui tiistaina lehdistötilaisuudessa Washingtonissa.

YHDYSVALTAIN terveysministeri Robert F. Kennedy Jr. julisti tiistaina, että ”sokeri on myrkkyä”.
Sanomalehti The New York Timesin mukaan Kennedy kauhisteli, että nykyiset viranomaissuositukset sallivat lapsille ”valtavan määrä sokeria”, mikä ”haittaa heitä, tekee heistä riippuvaisia ja muuttaa heidän makunystyröitään”.
The US health secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr on Tuesday called sugar “poison” and recommended that Americans eat “zero” added sugar in their food, while acknowledging that the federal government was unlikely to be able to eliminate it from products.
Kennedy, however, said that better labeling was needed for foods and that new government guidelines on nutrition would recommend people avoid sugar completely.
The health and human services secretary also announced plans to eliminate the last eight government-approved synthetic food dyes from the US food supply within two years.
Kennedy said at a press conference on Tuesday: “Sugar is poison and Americans need to know that it is poisoning us.”
He added moments later: “I don’t think that we’re going to be able to eliminate sugar, but I think what we need to do, probably, is give Americans knowledge about how much sugar is in their products, and also, with the new nutrition guidelines, we’ll give them a very clear idea about how much sugar they should be using, which is zero.”
The secretary said the public is under-informed about food.
“Americans don’t know what they’re eating. We’re going to start informing Americans about what they’re eating,” he said.
Rollins said she invited Kennedy to her alma mater to see Texas A&M’s research, as the two agencies work on the upcoming five-year Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The report, which both secretaries said would come out this summer, is expected to be a rejection of the latest 453-page advisory report, completed under the Biden Administration, that typically informs policies on healthy eating.
“Traditionally, the dietary guidelines have been a political document,” Kennedy said. “Today, we’re changing that.”
During the event, Rollins ticked off Americans’ poor health metrics, including how about 100 million Americans are obese and the rates of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and other diet-related diseases on the rise.
Kiire on kova, sillä kouluruokailu halutaan uudistaa jo ennen seuraavan lukuvuoden alkamista:The dietary guidelines will be updated by summer 2025, Kennedy announced.
“I’m working with Secretary Rollins on the dietary guidelines.”
“The dietary guidelines that President Biden’s Administration gave us were 453 pages, they were basically unreadable, and they were the product of the same kind of politicized science that drove Froot Loops to the top of the food pyramid.”
“We are working very fast together. We’re gonna get it done by the end of the summer in time to drive major, dramatic changes in the school lunch programs over the next school year.”

Onkohan tuossa mukana jo voitelurahoja esim. terveydenhuollon edustajille, etteivät nostaisi asiasta meteliä?
