”The report repeatedly makes recommendations based on observational studies and surrogate end points, failing to distinguish between recommendations based on expert consensus rather than high-quality RCTs. Unfortunately, the current and past US dietary guidelines represent a nearly evidence-free zone.”
Näin kirjoittaa Steve Nissen arvostettu sydämspesialisti. Hän myös sanoo:
”Nissen also faulted the guidelines’ recommendation for Americans to limit their intake of saturated fat, writing ”the best available evidence does not clearly support the widely held belief that Americans should limit saturated fat” in their diets.”
Ilmeisesti Yhdysvaltan kongressi on myös herännyt, ja tukee 1M$:lla projektia, jossa selvitetään saavatko kansalaiset oikeata, tieteeseen perustaavaa ravintotietoa. Asia on annettu NASin (National Academies of Science) hoidettavaksi.
