The
Dietary Guidelines for Americans
are the cornerstone of Federal
nutrition policy and nutrition
education activities.
The Dietary Guidelines are
jointly issued and updated every
5 years by the Departments of
Agriculture (USDA)
and Health and Human Services (HHS).
They provide
authoritative advice for people
two years and older about how
good dietary habits can promote
health and reduce risk for major
chronic diseases.
The 2005 Dietary Guidelines remain the current guidance until the 2010 Dietary Guidelines are published.
 Development of the 2010 Dietary Guidelines
Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) Meetings
The first four DGAC meetings have been held. For details on these, see the Resources column to
the right.

Due to the upcoming inclement severe weather forecast for the Washington DC area, the 5th Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee meeting scheduled for February 9-10 will be postponed to a later date which will be announced in a Federal Register notice. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause.
