Development of the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans
(sixth edition)
Nutrition and Your Health: Dietary Guidelines
for Americans is published jointly every 5 years by the
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Department of
Agriculture (USDA). The Guidelines provide authoritative
advice for people two years and older about how good dietary habits
can promote health and reduce risk for major chronic diseases. They
serve as the basis for Federal food and nutrition education programs.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Department
of Agriculture (USDA) have begun the process of developing the sixth
edition of Nutrition and Your Health: Dietary Guidelines for
Americans. The Dietary
Guidelines Advisory Committee, a committee of prominent experts in
nutrition and health, will undertake a review of the 2000
Dietary
Guidelines in light of recent scientific and applied literature and
determine if revision is warranted. If so, the Committee will submit a
report of its recommendations to assist the Departments in preparing
the 2005 edition of the Dietary Guidelines.
