- 11 minutes 43 seconds1220: Industry Influence Behind New Dietary Guidelines
'New Dietary Guidelines Were Written by Authors With Strong Ties to the Food Industry' and 'Dietary Guidelines Are a Mixed Bag, Show Industry Influence, Says Physicians Committee'
The new Dietary Guidelines for Americans were written by authors with strong ties to the food industry (at least 7 of 9!) and they sidestepped longstanding federal legal protections by ignoring the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee's recent scientific report and relying instead on the recommendations of a hastily assembled panel of industry insiders, without any oversight or input by the public.

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine is a non-profit organization founded by Dr. Neal Barnard, combining the clout and expertise of more than 12,000 physicians, dietitians, and scientists and almost 200,000 members worldwide. They're changing the way doctors treat chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and cancer - putting prevention over pills,and empowering patients to take control of their own health. And since 1985, the Physicians Committee has worked tirelessly for alternatives to the use of animals in medical education and research, and for more effective scientific methods.
The Physicians Committee is dedicated to saving and improving human and animal lives through plant-based diets and ethical and effective scientific research.
