Episode 25: The New Dietary Guidelines



Today’s podcast is just in time for New Year’s resolutions because we’ll be talking about the upcoming 2020-2025 dietary guidelines for Americans. While the new guidelines are expected to be announced by the end of the year, we’re joined today by Barbara Schneeman, PhD, Professor Emerita at UC Davis and Richard Mattes, PhD, Distinguished Professor at Purdue University, to discuss the recommendations that were made. Schneeman served as chair of the 2020 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, and Mattes was a member of the 2020 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, specifically the Beverages and Added Sugars Subcommittee as well as the Frequency of Eating Subcommittee.
