I've followed Teicholz's writing for years, she's pretty incredible as a science commentator and dissector of health-related information.
Here's a new, pretty long piece about how the US guidelines are, were, and remain complete crap.
The new guidelines themselves have vegetarian pondering, red-meat scares, ultraprocessed foods, and rah-rah for seed oils.
Yeah, totally scientific, peeps. As always,** the invert-rule applies:** These establishment schmucks have such horrid moral and intellectual compasses that you can just flip everything they say, and arrive at truth.
Also, OOPS??
Nine out of the 20 members were found to have a tie with food, pharmaceutical or weight loss companies or industry groups with a stake in the outcome of the guidelines, according to a report by the non-profit public interest group, U.S. Right to Know.
Teicholz:
This advice does not consider that plant-based proteins are not as complete as those from animals and also not as bioavailable. Plant sources like peas and beans also pack a hefty load of carbohydrates and calories for the same amount of protein, making them a far less healthy option for people with metabolic conditions such as obesity and diabetes who need to be mindful of controlling their blood sugars.
We can just pray that RFK abolishes the entire department. BYEEEE, bureaucratic and unscientific parasites!
