In this video, Dr. Leigh Frame walks us through the key points, the controversies, and how our Eat the Rainbow guidance from GWU’s Nutrition Guide remains a strong, evidence-based foundation for optimal nutrition. https://realfood.gov/

📌 In this video we cover:
✅ What the new guidelines say about ultraprocessed foods and why avoiding them matters. Eat Real Food
✅ The lack of clarity around alcohol limits — and why we believe the healthiest choice is no alcohol. Reuters
✅ Confusion over animal protein and saturated fat — including how headlines about “ending the war on saturated fat” compare to the actual recommendation to keep saturated fat less than 10% of calories. Real Food
✅ The updated protein recommendation (1.2–1.6 g/kg/day) and who may benefit — and who might need a more tailored approach. Real Food
