Panel behind new dietary guidelines had financial ties to beef, dairy industries
The industry connections of an advisory panel for the new dietary guidelines are notable, especially in light of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s criticism of corporate influence.

2025 was the year protein ‘jumped the shark’
2025 was not the year protein finally got its due. It was the year protein was oversold, overvalued and overhyped. The science of protein has not changed; we just need to listen to it again.

A mix of long embraces truisms (more fruits & veggies!), fearmongering, bad advice (more animal protein?), & the oversimplification of complex issues (avoid UPFs).

Dietary guidelines declare war on processed foods and sugar, encourage more protein and dairy
The MAHA movement claims wins — fewer processed foods and seed oils, more beef and dairy products — as Kennedy discards 421 pages of scientific recommendations.
