The following is an excerpt from
\nthe latest <\/em>NCA Member Alert<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Do you remember the Food Guide
\nPyramid<\/a> or MyPlate<\/a>?\n<\/p>\n

Every 5 years, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Department
\nof Health and Human Services (HHS) issues a new edition of the Dietary
\nGuidelines<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0 These are dietary
\nrecommendations for Americans to practice healthy eating habits.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Shaped by the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee<\/a> (DGAC), these guidelines have an enormous impact on US perceptions and behaviors regarding nutrition and health, which is why it\u2019s critical to communicate the science on coffee and health. <\/p>\n

Dr. Mark Corey, NCA Director of Scientific & Government Affairs,
\nrecently attended the 2020-2025 DGAC\u2019s public meeting on July 10th<\/sup>
\nand 11th<\/sup> in Washington, D.C. to observe and learn more about their
\nreview process. (Read
\nhis recap\u00a0 from the meeting here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Late yesterday, working with our Science Leadership Council (SLC), the
\nNCA submitted comments to inform the DGAC about the large body of scientific
\nevidence that is available on coffee and health, and requested the inclusion of
\ncoffee as a healthy beverage option.<\/p>\n
