Meat & USDA

(cont'd from yesterday's post)

Nina Teicholz, the woman in yesterday's video, was invited to submit testimony to the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture regarding their official nutritional guidelines. A new guideline will be published in 2020.

What did she tell them? "You must focus on disputed topics!" She is an influential voice for one of those topics, the low-carbohydrate diet. Her message is that the official nutritional guideline's promotion of grains while blaming meat/fats for disease is contrary to established evidence. 

Her claim is an uncommon one, but she's not completely alone. Nutrition Coalition brings attention to the disputed topics:

"Disputed" is right. Here is one of her critics.
