## Caption

When michael.pollan was writing books about eating real food and reading your ingredient lists, dietetics programs across the country were recommending low-fat Jiffy peanut butter LOADED with added sugars, trans fats & preservatives. 

Our national government said for decades that “there wasn’t enough research to show that added sugars contributed to poor health” and up until last week refined grains like white bread were considered to be a healthy option. 

I personally know many dietitians who told me that Michael Pollans work of “eat real foods” was “not evidence based”. 

To say that the dietary guidelines (under the HHS and USDA) and the extension to the nutrition facts panel (under the fda) did not contribute to our chronic disease epidemic would be REWRITING HISTORY entirely!!! 

Regardless of the administration being democrat or republican, the national nutrition organizations chose profit over people’s health repeatedly.

I’m sharing more this week about my thoughts on the new Dietary Guidelines but I need to start here! Comment NEWSLETTER to get this week’s newsletter.
