New US dietary guidelines include recs for babies and toddlers for first time

Updated December 30, 2020

"The decision made by the federal government to maintain current dietary guidelines around alcohol intake reflects the current science and should be applauded," according to a statement released by the American Beverage Institute.

美国饮料研究所发表的一份声明称：“联邦政府决定维持目前关于酒精摄入量的饮食指南，这反映了当前的科学，应该受到赞扬。”

"The USDA and HHS rightly rejected suggestions from the advisory committee to limit alcohol intake for men, which was not supported by the evidence," according to the industry trade group's statement. "New developments regarding human health should never be dismissed, but the debate should be driven by sound science, not an agenda."

“美国农业部和卫生与公众服务部正确地拒绝了咨询委员会提出的限制男性饮酒的建议，这没有证据支持，”根据行业贸易组织的声明“决不应忽视有关人类健康的新发展，但辩论应以健全的科学为动力，而不是议程。”

The American Institute for Cancer Research was pleased to see "recommendations for a dietary pattern rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains, and low in sugar-sweetened foods and drinks," said Dr. Nigel Brockton, AICR's vice president of research, in a statement.

美国癌症研究所负责研究的副所长奈杰尔·布罗克顿博士(Nigel Brockton)在一份声明中表示，该研究所很高兴看到“建议人们多吃水果、蔬菜和全谷物，少吃含糖食品和饮料”。

But "retaining this flawed advice implies that two drinks per day are safe for men; that advice is contrary to the convincing evidence that intake of even less than one drink per day elevates the risk for several cancer types, including head and neck, esophageal and breast cancers," he said.

但他说：“保留这一有缺陷的建议意味着每天喝两杯酒对男性是安全的；咨询委员会的建议与令人信服的证据相反，证据表明，每天摄入少于一杯酒会增加患多种癌症的风险，包括头颈癌、食管癌和乳腺 癌。”
