"Unlike the new federally authorized inverted food pyramid, which gives top billing to an enormous cut of steak, a tray of ground meat, a hunk of cheese and carton of whole milk, the American Heart Assn. urges plant-based proteins over red meat, and low- or nonfat dairy products over whole-fat options."
"The heart association also pushes back on Kennedy's well-publicized passion for beef tallow as a replacement for seed oils, which he has accused (despite shaky evidence) of 'poisoning' Americans."
The American Heart Association has released updated guidelines for a heart-healthy diet, emphasizing plant-based proteins and low-fat dairy. These guidelines diverge from the recent federal dietary recommendations that prioritize red meat and saturated fats. The heart association continues to advocate for unsaturated fats over saturated fats, countering claims made by public figures regarding the benefits of animal fats. The guidelines reflect a growing rift between established medical groups and current federal dietary policies.
