Reconciling Personalized Nutrition and the DGA: Should and Could Dietary Guidelines be Personalized?
Recorded June 22, 2022
IAFNS is a Continuing Professional Education (CPE) provider with the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR). CDR Credentialed Practitioners will receive 1.0 Continuing Professional Education Units (CPEUs) for completion of this recorded webinar until June 22, 2025.
Description:
The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) are intended for the US population, which includes “people who are healthy, people at risk for diet-related chronic conditions and diseases…and some people who are living with one or more of these diet-related chronic illnesses.” Obesity in the U.S. is projected to reach 50%
by 2030 which will be accompanied by diet-related chronic diseases, despite consistent updating and implementation of food labels, MyPlate and the DGA. Food companies also modify products to align with the DGA, investing significantly in R & D - however, these products generally do not sell well. This session will explore the potential of a shift toward personalization, expanding the DGA beyond adaptation to fit individual preferences, and whether this shift is suited to federal policy vs. other purposes.
