Updated science statement just published: https://www.dietaryguidelines.gov/s...ietary_Guidelines_Advisory_Committee_508c.pdf
IMO, these reports have the most comprehensive summary of current evidence. It's what the scientists say, before the foodd industry (especially meat & dairy) and other interest groups gets to hack away at the recommendations & influence what goes into the final guidelines.
But I don't think many surprises at the top level.
As the Committee considered the evidence, which encompassed multiple life stages, a dietary patternemerged that was consistently related to beneficial health. This healthy dietary pattern for individuals ages2 years and older is higher in vegetables, fruits, legumes (i.e., beans, peas, lentils), nuts, whole grains,fish/seafood, and vegetable oils higher in unsaturated fat, and lower in red and processed meats, sugarsweetened foods and beverages, refined grains, and saturated fat. Some of these healthy dietary patternsalso include consumption of fat-free or low-fat dairy and foods lower in sodium, and/or may include plantbased dietary options.
