Back in 2015 the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, (AND), the largest professional organization of its kind on the planet said pretty much the same thing on page 11 of a letter to the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Secretary of Agriculture. “In the spirit of the 2015 DGAC’s commendable revision of previous DGAC recommendations to limit dietary cholesterol, the Academy suggests that HHS and USDA support a similar revision deemphasizing saturated fat as a nutrient of concern.
