Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. may overhaul 2025 dietary guidelines, favoring vague "whole foods" advice over science-backed limits on saturated fat and sugar.
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expected to shape the 2025 U.S. dietary guidelines, potentially shifting away from decades of science-based recommendations.
While the scientific advisory committee’s report supports current advice—limiting saturated fat, added sugar, and refined carbs—Kennedy has criticized the process and pledged a simplified, four- to six-page version focused on "whole foods, healthy foods, and local foods."
Experts warn this vague approach could weaken the guidelines’ role in federal nutrition programs like school meals and food aid.
Kennedy’s public support for saturated fat and red meat raises concerns about reversing long-standing heart health advice, though the scientific review still endorses current limits.
The final guidelines will align with science, the Department of Health and Human Services says, but their direction remains uncertain.
