New dietary guidelines may drop warning on cholesterol
« on: February 13, 2015, 07:13:31 AM »
The U.S. Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee is expected to drop its caution against consuming cholesterol when it releases updated recommendations this year. The decision would coincide with a change in thinking among many nutrition experts about cholesterol in foods and the impact on heart disease risk.

Nutrition committee urges Americans to cut back on sugar

"The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee on Thursday eased some restrictions on cholesterol and fat intake, saying that Americans should focus more on dietary patterns than on individual nutrients. The panel also stressed that Americans are consuming too much added sugar and recommended a daily intake of roughly 12 teaspoons."
