dietary guidelines for 2015-2020 will be the cornerstone of U.S. nutrition policies and programs over the next five years. To better understand the changes in U.S. dietary guidelines over the years, FoodMinds has analyzed keyword content in eight versions of the U.S. Dietary Guidelines to date.In terms of the total number of words used in the dietary guidelines, from only 3,000 words when the first edition of the dietary guidelines was released in the United States in 1980 to more than 50,000 words in this year's latest edition, the total number of words used in the dietary guidelines has increased 15 times. In terms of the content of dietary guidelines, there has been a shift from focusing on individual foods and nutrients to focusing on the overall dietary pattern. Moreover, consideration of personal habits, traditional customs, cultural needs and dietary expenses has gradually been added to the recommendations of the guidelines.. "Obviously, over the course of 40 years of evolution, dietary guidelines have shifted the focus on individual nutrients and foods such as fat to understanding the whole dietary pattern," said Bill Layden, a partner and co-founder at FoodMinds. Because a standard is not applicable to everyone, when we want to eat healthy, we should adopt a tailor-made meal pattern. The new dietary guidelines call for changes in food choices and recognize that these changes should be combined with your dietary needs, aspirations, health status and lifestyle.
