Public comments are now being accepted on the draft Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010 report. The advisory committee’s report can be read at www.dietaryguidelines.gov. To see what others are saying about the recommendations, go to the "tracking inbox."

Written comments will be accepted from June 15 to July 15, 2010. Oral testimony may be provided at a public meeting to be held in Washington, DC, on July 8, 2010.

The dietary guidelines are updated and released by USDA and HHS every five years.

The advisory report provides the departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Services “with a strong foundation for preparing the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans which will be released at the end of the year,” according to a joint press release issued by the agencies.

Yes public comment would be quite helpful.As we know that the Dietary Guidelines for Americans provides science-based eating and physical activity advice for healthy Americans over age 2 years so having different opinions on that would be very helpful.

Dietary guidelines won't work unless socially enforced, unfortunately.

It is a fair attempt and a basic explanation to guide and help Americans follow a healthy diet.By way of introduction, I am a physician and clinical researcher who studies the clinical effects of nutritional interventions.
