Less Meat, More Plants!

Published: June 16, 2020, 7 a.m.

A report that may reshape nutrition advice given to millions of Americans will soon be discussed in Washington. It is the groundwork for the updated USDA Dietary Guidelines that are set to be released early next year. And one thing is clear \u2014 research shows the guidelines should call for less meat and more plants!\xa0\xa0

On this episode of The Exam Room\u2122 podcast, "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll is joined by dietitian Susan Levin to explore the recommendations that everyone eating a plant-based diet should be hoping for! They also look at the confusion surrounding some of the current guidelines and how they can be improved.

The update currently being crafted by the USDA comes on the heels of the American Cancer Society\u2019s new nutrition guidance which does not include red or processed meat, both of which have been tied to many forms of cancer. Likewise, Canada has deemphasized dairy in its latest nutrition guidelines because of cancer concerns. Will the US be the next country to take a healthy step toward a plant-based way of eating?
