List goes on...now ~20 such reviews, on clinical trials and observational studies. Show no effect of sat fats on/no association with cardiovascular or total mortality. #DelaytheDGA List is here: 6/ nutritioncoalition.us/saturated-fats…

Why did DGA panel not reckon with this last 10y of science? One reason may be that Subcommittee on fats is one-sided, biased. Includes one of sat-fats strongest foes.7/

This subcommittee ignored those ~20 papers, the last decade of science.
Its own review used weak, inconclusive evidence, did not make a convincing case. /fin.

Today! 11-3PM ET, tweet to #DelaytheDGA until the expert panel includes ALL the science in the Dietary Guidelines expert report. Currently all trials on weight loss, low-carb excluded. Sat fat reviews of last 10y excluded. @HouseAgGOP @HouseAgDems @HouseAppropsGOP @AppropsDems 1/
DGA methodology is a black box. Lack of transparency , eg. not disclosing sig. conflicts of interest on expert panel, which include major ties to food and pharma industries. #DelaytheDGA @HouseAgGOP @HouseAgDems @HouseAppropsGOP @AppropsDems 2/
DGA has no advice for anyone diagnosed w/ chronic illness including obesity, diabetes, heart disease, fatty liver disease, etc. Even tho these are DIET-related diseases. Obesity now at 42.4% in US. #DelaytheDGA @HouseAgGOP @HouseAgDems @HouseAppropsGOP @AppropsDems 3/

Obesity continues to rise in the US. 42.4% among adults now. There was a prediction that we'd hit 50% by 2030, but seems like we'll get there sooner. Not surprising given that nearly all trials on weight loss excluded from our #DietaryGuidelines 1/ cdc.gov/nchs/data/data…
Our nation's nutrition policy, affecting schools, military, feeding programs for elderly etc, is only for "healthy Americans"--USDA-HHS have decided. Even though Congress said the #dietaryguidelines should be for the "general public." 2/
General public is now >60% of America w/ 1 or more chronic disease. Yet Guidelines are not for them. The current committee has also excluded virtually all low-carb science and all science that contradicts continued caps on sat fats. No matter ur views, this is bad science... 3/

.@DiabetesCanada's new review says "low-carb diets may be superior to comparator (higher-carb) diets for improving glycemic control, body weight..." Glycemic (blood sugar) control turns out to be v. important for surviving #Covid_19-for all people 1/ canadianjournalofdiabetes.com/article/S1499-…
Canada joins UK, US and Australian diabetes groups who've made similar statements calling low-carb diet a safe and highly effective option for diabetes. However, insofar as I can see, US, Canada are not promoting this diet. No mention of it in @DiabetesCanada post w/ an MD 2/
He says mainly "avoid drinking" alcohol and keep a food diary to survive COVID. Neither of those recommendations have been shown to reverse T2 diabetes diagnosis as have, say, low-carb, but he does get sympathy points for saying don't try to give up comfort food. 🤦‍♀️
