The Harvard School of Public Health applauds the current USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans, for taking steps in the right direction, such as emphasizing the importance of weight management and physical activity. Additionally the guidelines also emphasize that the intake of trans fats should be as low as possible and that the intake of saturated fats should be limited. There is no longer an artificially low cap on fat intake. The current guidelines also recommend getting between 20 and 35 percent of your daily calories from fats and recognizes the potential health benefits of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. The new guidelines urge Americans to limit sugar intake and they stress the benefits of whole grains. Unfortunately they made a dramatic wrong turn and begin rushing toward the nutritional cliff.
