I agree that sugar is consumed in massive quantities today, to the detriment of our national health picture.  I could do better on this front, too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">I disagree that full-fat dairy (e.g., cheese, whole milk; now recommending 3 servings\/day), and red meats are a valuable part of a healthy diet.  I disagree that saturated fats are useful for promoting health.<\/p>\n<p>Bottom line, I have mixed reactions.  Praise for reducing processed foods\/sugars, but I am concerned over heavy animal products emphasis that conflict with heart health evidence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Today, the Seventh-day Adventist commitment to plant-based nutrition stands as a proven evidence-backed model in an age of chronic disease epidemics.  It\u2019s not a guarantee, but it definitely makes an observable difference.  The Adventist health message reminds us that prioritizing a plant-based diet isn&#8217;t just healthy\u2014it offers longer, more energetic lives filled with purpose and joy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">****<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Discuss!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 2025\u20132030 HHS guidelines bring back the 1992 pyramid but flip it upside down (inverted), with a strong&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":408236,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[49,48,84,395],"class_list":{"0":"post-408235","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nutrition","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-health","11":"tag-nutrition"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/408235","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=408235"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/408235\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/408236"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=408235"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=408235"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=408235"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
