Member(s) of USDA Committee Blow Whistle on Serious Flaws in Dietary Guidelines Process
Quote:
One or more the member(s) from inside the DGAC has come forward with allegations reflecting a process that continues to be flawed. These concerns include.
Lack of time to finish the scientific reviews
Reviews deleted or added by DGAC without public notice
Lack of consistent standards across DGAC Subcommittees
Lack of time for USDA to adopt reforms mandated by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Inconsistent evaluation of scientific evidence
Exclusion of major bodies of evidence, including all the studies on weight loss and virtually all studies on low-carbohydrate diets
Restricted communication among members of the DGAC
Read the full list in the letter to USDA-HHS.

Nina's letter to the secretaries appears in the link at the end. They've put a lot of work into this, and I'm afraid it'll end up being for naught.
