New Dietary Recommendations for Adults and Kids

Sep 11, 2002

New guidelines for healthy eating from the National Academies' Food and Nutrition Board set a recommended range for consuming fats, carbohydrates, fiber, protein and sugars, and emphasized the importance of at least one hour each day of moderately intense physical exercise for adults and children. The report suggests that added sugars?—not the kind in fruits and milk ?—should comprise no more than 25 percent of total calories consumed.
