New Food Pyramid Explained by a Nutrition Biochemist

Why did we flip the Food Pyramid upside down? 🍎🔻 Nutritional biochemist Lara Hyde explains how every five years, experts update nutrition guidelines based on the latest science. What started as a food pyramid, then turned into a plate, is now a flipped food pyramid. Whole foods like fruits, veggies, protein, dairy, and healthy fats are on top, all balanced on whole grains. But with saturated fat capped at 10 percent of daily calories, steak and cheese still have their limits. #Science #FoodPyramid #FoodScience #Nutrition #wellness This project is part of IF/THEN®, an initiative of Lyda Hill Philanthropies.
