Summary of Dietary Recommendations for Healthy Americans
1988
Cronin, Frances J. | SHAW, ANNE M.
A number of Federal, professional and health organizations have published dietary recommendations for healthy Americans that consider the relationship of diet to health and the reduction of risk of chronic disease. Recommendations for nutrient adequacy, body weight, dietary intakes of fat (including saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids), cholesterol, carbohydrate (including complex carbohydrate or starch, dietary fiber and refined sugars), sodium and alcohol made by 10 organizations are summarized. Additional dietary recommendations by these and other groups, including those for population subgroups such as infants, children and women, are also presented. Finally, examples of translations of recommendations into food guidance for healthy Americans are cited.
