According to the CDC, obesity in the US more than doubled over the next 28  years, in 2008- from 15% to 34 % of the adult population. Child obesity grew  even more, from 5 to 17 %. The Lancet published a report last week showing that  42 % of American adult females and 34 % of males are now obese; nearly 75% of American  adults are overweight!<\/p>\n<p>In  fact, one might even wonder what these daily dietary guidelines in the US have  accomplished in 45 years. &nbsp;President-elect Donald Trump has nominated  Robert F. Kennedy Jr., to head the Department of Health and Human Services  (HHS), who might well ask the same question. <\/p>\n<p>Kennedy  Jr (son of late Robert Kennedy Jr.) is a controversial nominee for people who  believe in science because of his strong vocal opposition to Covid vaccines.  He&#8217;s also controversial because of his support for abortion. But no one doubts  his commitment to make Americans healthier (or less unhealthy, if we look at  the above statistics dished out by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wine-searcher.com\/m\/2024\/11\/wine-could-escape-dietary-guidelines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><font color=\"#990000\">Wine-Searcher<\/font><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For  this very reason, he might end up saving the US wine industry from a  devastating blow the Biden administration has been trying to level.<\/p>\n<p>RFK  Jr is a recovering alcoholic and no supporter of alcohol. According to this  Article, he became addicted to heroin at age 15 while his brother David died of  an overdose. He even goes to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings regularly.<\/p>\n<p>Alcohol  is an afterthought in the US daily dietary guidelines, so much so that the  Biden administration handed off the task of deciding how much Americans can  safely drink to ICCPUD, the Interagency Coordinating Committee on the  Prevention of Underage Drinking.<\/p>\n<p>But  if the US government believes that even one drink a day is dangerous, it will  be a devastating blow to the already-reeling wine industry. It would be the  antithesis of the game changing \u201860 Minutes\u2019 broadcast in November 1991 that  postulated that red wine in moderation was good for heart health and it set a global  trend to drinking wine for better health.<\/p>\n<p>It  is not easy to shake off bureaucracy in the US as well. But it is possible JFK  Jr might be able to succeed. According to a bipartisan and well-connected  source in Washington DC known for its humongous lobby groups, the daily dietary  guidelines is &#8220;a 45-year failed public health policy&#8221;, according to  the Article. With Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy assigned to improve the  government efficiency (through DOGE- Department of Government Efficiency), it  is likely that this Committee may concur on the less-than-useful stand of these  \u2018Guidelines\u2019 in the last 45 years and they may not even to tinker with the  guidelines which seem to be more realistic in encouraging \u2018Drinking in  Moderation\u2019. Kennedy Jr. might go along with this perception. <\/p>\n<p>Since  the <a href=\"https:\/\/rollcall.com\/2024\/10\/16\/dietary-guidelines-become-mired-in-war-over-alcohol-safety\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><font color=\"#990000\">Dietary Guidelines<\/font><\/a> for Americans were last  updated in 2020, research (more like an avalanche of motivated studies ) has  no-doubt emerged suggesting that even drinking moderately could be associated  with health issues and cancer but with little evidence suggesting fool-proof  scientific support. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The  views of the current political head will have a role to play. Alcohol has been  under attack by the American President Biden who is a teetotaler. A different  teetotaler President Elect Trump might appoint and depend on RFK Jr., a guy who  is a recovering addict and who might like to see restrained but delicious  drinking, enhancing the flavours of food.<\/p>\n<p>There  is the ongoing debate between the wine drinkers in moderation and the neo  prohibitionists who claim that even a sip of the moniker might cause cancer. It  is likely then that the US Dietary Guidelines may not see any change in 2025  and the wine industry might be saved from the calamity it is facing worldwide.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Subhash Arora<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Posted: Friday, 22 Nov 2024 14:34 US Dietary Guidelines may not change Wine Recommendations in 2025 Nov 22:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[82],"tags":[480,799,798,796,797],"class_list":["post-17234","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-other-headlines","tag-480","tag-donald-trump","tag-guidelines","tag-us-dietary","tag-wine-recommendations"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","slider-bg":"","card-grid":"","card-list":"","morenews-featured":"","morenews-large":"","morenews-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"admin","author_link":"https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/author\/admin\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/category\/other-headlines\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Other Headlines<\/a>","tag_info":"Other Headlines","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17234","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17234"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17234\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17249,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17234\/revisions\/17249"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17234"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17234"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17234"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
