What’s up with the new US dietary guidelines? Officially, they are known as the “U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans.” You’ve probably heard the buzz. But if you’re like me, maybe you haven’t delved into this topic. Now’s the time!
Also, just generally, as a physician, I needed this session. Yes, doctors don’t learn about the finer points of nutrition in medical school. That’s why we have multidisciplinary teams. That’s why we need dietary & nutrition experts!
Well, you can’t find better ones than my wonderful guests, Dr. Jessica Knurick and Dr. Kevin Klatt. We covered what is new in the recently released dietary guidelines—and what isn’t…
We covered highly processed foods (and ultra-processed ones). Turns out that not all of them are bad.
We covered the whole food pyramid thing.

I hope you learn as much from this as I did. Thanks to my colleagues at MedPage Today for organizing this!
