US Updates Dietary Guidelines with Higher Protein, Red Meat Focus

The US has updated its dietary guidelines, introducing an inverted food pyramid.

This new guide encourages Americans to eat more protein, full-fat dairy, and red meat, while reducing refined carbs, processed foods, added sugars, and alcohol.

The guidelines aim to combat health issues like obesity and prediabetes.

Unlike other countries that focus on plant-based diets, the US is emphasizing higher protein intake.

The new recommendations will affect school lunches, military meals, and the food industry.

The American Heart Association has concerns about the increased focus on red meat and salt.
