The North American Meat Institute (NAMI) is advocating for better scientific evidence to be the foundation of new nutrition policies after it says a review of the science used by the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee revealed more than 70 percent of the recommendations were not based on reviews of USDA’s Nutritional Evidence Library (NEL).
According to NAMI, “the NEL is designed to reduce bias in scientific analysis by serving as a primary resource to inform the committee about the best available scientific research and answer important food and nutrition-related questions.”
