139 | The New Food Pyramid: Experts React to the Dietary Guidelines

The 2026 Dietary Guidelines for Americans just dropped and the new upside-down food pyramid caused quite the chatter online this week.  In this special Nutrition Newsroom roundtable, Colleen Sloan, PA, RDN, brings together nine nutrition experts to break down what the new guidelines actually are (and what they’re not), what stayed the same, what changed, and what’s missing.  You’ll hear respectful disagreement, real-world clinical concerns, and practical talking points you can use the next time a patient says, “So… butter is healthy now?” Here’s what we discuss:  • What the Dietary Guidelines are designed to do and how they’re created. Plus what was different about the 2026 process • Why the new pyramid graphic is creating mixed messages for clinicians and consumers • The most controversial updates: saturated fat, full-fat dairy, added sugar guidance for kids, new protein targets, and alcohol recommendations • How to translate all of this into patient-friendly counseling without fearmongering or food shaming • What experts say the guidelines missed: fiber, cultural diversity, access/affordability, and community surrounding meals What are your thoughts on the new guideline?
