HHS/TRUMP ADMIN: “The Trump Administration rejected a push by the scientific community for recommendations that adults should reduce sugar and alcohol in their diets.

While the Dietary Guidelines for Americans for 2020-25 advised for the first time that children under 2 years old avoid sugar, the publication issued Tuesday [Dec. 29, 2020] left recommendations for sugar and alcoholic consumption unchanged, citing a lack of evidence for a shift.”
