2025-2030 US FDA Dietary Guidelines changes

On January 7, 2026, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of Agriculture released the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, marking what the administration describes as a "historic reset" of federal nutrition policy. The new guidelines introduce significant departures from previous recommendations, including increased protein targets, a shift from low-fat to full-fat dairy, and the first explicit guidance to avoid ultra-processed foods. These changes have generated substantial discussion within the scientific and public health communities regarding the underlying evidence base and practical implications for American diets. 

This SciPoll aims to capture expert perspectives on the scientific foundations of these new recommendations and their potential impact on public health.
