flag The U.S. new guidelines boost daily protein to 100g, favoring animal sources, sparking debate over health risks and food quality.

flag The U.S. government has released new dietary guidelines recommending adults consume up to 100 grams of protein daily—nearly double the previous standard—emphasizing animal sources like red meat and whole milk. flag Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called the shift a move away from past restrictions on protein and saturated fats, citing 30 studies linking higher protein intake to better weight management and metabolic health. flag However, many nutrition experts warn that most Americans already consume sufficient protein and caution that increasing intake may lead to higher consumption of processed, high-fat animal products, potentially raising diabetes and heart disease risks. flag Critics also fear the guidelines could mislead the public into choosing protein-fortified junk food, undermining broader advice to eat whole, unprocessed foods.
