Dietary Guidelines For Americans 2010

The 2010 Dietary Guidelines are intended to be used in developing educational materials and aiding policymakers in designing and carrying out nutrition-related programs, including federal nutrition assistance and education programs. The Dietary Guidelines also serve as the basis for nutrition messages and consumer materials developed by nutrition educators and health professionals for the general public and specific audiences, such as children. This document is based on the recommendations put forward by the 2010 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee.
