2005 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee Report
The 13-member 2005 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee was
appointed by the Departments of Health and Human Services and
Agriculture to assist the departments in providing sound and current dietary guidance to
consumers. The National Nutrition Monitoring and Related Research Act
of 1990, Pub. L. 101-445, Title III, 7 U.S.C. 5301 et seq., requires
the Secretaries of HHS and USDA to publish the Dietary Guidelines
for Americans at least every five years. During its first meeting
on September 23-24, 2003, the Committee decided that the science has
changed since the 2000 edition of Nutrition and Your Health:
Dietary Guidelines for Americans and further evaluation of the
science was necessary. The Committee has finalized its recommendations
and submitted its Report to the Secretaries of Departments of Health
and Human Services and Agriculture. This Report will serve as the
basis for the sixth edition of Nutrition and Your Health: Dietary
Guidelines for Americans which HHS and USDA expect to publish in
January 2005.
