Yesterday, the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) released a report in response to the Biden-Harris Administration’s National Strategy on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health to identify scientific opportunities, gaps, and priorities to advance nutrition science, with a particular emphasis on ensuring equitable access to the benefits of research.PCAST provided two overarching goals related to the federal investment in nutrition research: ⏺️ Enhancing coordination of federal interagency efforts to strengthen the nutrition science evidence base, and ⏺️ Prioritizing equity in federal nutrition research.The report details how these goals can help create a range of nutrition interventions that strategically improve the health of the U.S. population, with a focus on those disproportionately affected by health disparities due to long-standing structural inequities which create barriers to healthy dietary patterns and lifestyles. 🔗 Read the report at the link in our bio.#nutrition #science #nutritionscience #nutritionresearch #research #eatrightPRO #nutritionprofessionals #NutritionInDemand

Last week, the 2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) met for the fifth time. The Subcommittees presented a lot of data along with draft conclusion statements based on their review of the evidence. Some notable takeaways are:⏺️ Food pattern modeling analyses indicate that nutrient intakes benefit from some modifications as well as flexibilities to the Healthy U.S.-Style dietary pattern.⏺️ No new nutrients of public health concern were identified (so potassium, calcium, vitamin D, and fiber remain).⏺️ The DGAC reviewed the current science related to ultraprocessed foods (UPF) and determined that: Limited evidence suggests that dietary patterns with higher amounts of foods classified as UPF consumed by children, adolescents, adults, and older adults are associated with greater adiposity (fat mass, waist circumference, BMI) and risk of overweight. 🔗For a detailed recap of the meeting, check out our blog at the link in bio. #DietaryGuidelines #nutrition #science #nutritionresearch #FoodPolicy #HealthPolicy #eatrightPRO #rdchat #dietitians #dietitiansofinstagram #nutritionindemand

We are honored to have been on a panel highlighting the importance of collaborating to address nutrition security and public health at the McCormick Science Institute’s annual meeting this week. The keynote addresses by USDA’s Stacy Dean and Dr. Caree Cotwright were inspiring, along with our time spent catching up with public health and nutrition champions, friends, and colleagues. We left energized to continue our efforts to “make MyPlate a household name!” Interested in the nutrition education materials we’ve developed with clients that demonstrate how the framework of the Dietary Guidelines can be adapted for cultural foodways, budgetary considerations, and personal preferences?
