American Heart Association urges people to favor plant-based proteins, replace full fat dairy
The updated guidance says 60% of U.S. adults eat unhealthy diets and urges more plant foods, less saturated fat and fewer ultra-processed foods.
- On Tuesday, the American Heart Association released updated dietary guidelines emphasizing plant-based protein sources over meat while limiting ultra-processed foods, sugar, salt, and full-fat dairy.
- The American Heart Association releases nutrition guidance about every five years; about 60% of Americans currently eat unhealthy diets that increase cardiovascular disease risk.
- Recommendations prioritize beans, lentils, nuts, and seeds as plant-based protein sources while encouraging unsaturated fats from plant oils instead of saturated fats like butter and beef tallow.
- These recommendations depart from the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which encourage Red Meat and full-fat dairy consumption, creating divergent federal nutrition standards.
- The American Heart Association and Department of Health and Human Services emphasized shared objectives to reduce diet-related chronic disease, despite differing recommendations on specific foods.
