Is the New Food Pyramid Science-Based? A Dietary Guidelines Scientist Weighs In

For a written digest on the guidelines, see the StayCurious Metabolism Letter: https://staycuriousmetabolism.substac... The 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines are being marketed as a major reset with a simple message: put “real food” back at the center of the American diet. And in a lot of ways, they do represent progress. But when you actually read what’s written, some of the most important details raise real questions. For example, the document still states that saturated fat should not exceed 10% of total daily calories. To separate signal from spin, I’m joined by Dr. Ty Beal PhD, who worked on the evidence review side of the Guidelines process, to explain what the scientific background documents actually say, what happens after scientists submit reviews, and why the final public-facing document can end up with compromises, inconsistencies, or imprecise terminology. If you want a clear, good-faith breakdown—what’s genuinely better, what still doesn’t add up, and what needs to be fixed next—this is the conversation.
