This is the Executive report from the U.S. Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee produced in early 2015. Every five years this committee reviews the current science on diet and nutrition and produces a synthesized recommendation report that is then used to create the official U.S. Dietary guidelines for Americans.

“The overall body of evidence examined by the 2015 DGAC identifies that a healthy dietary pattern is higher in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low- or non-fat dairy, seafood, legumes, and nuts; moderate in low- or non-fat dairy and alcohol (among adults); lower in red and processed meat; and low in sugar-sweetened foods and drinks and refined grains.
