Sat-fat advice

摘要

The report from the pressure group the National Obesity Forum (NOF), branded as irresponsible by Public Health England and discordant with the international consensus, criticised the government's Eatwell guide and official UK dietary reference values (DRVs), particularly those for fat and carbohydrates. The DRVs underpin the Eatwell guide and were set by expert government committees based on a careful review of all the scientific evidence, acknowledging the strengths and weaknesses of different study designs and the limitations of many of the early cohort studies that the NOF gives credence to in meta-analyses.
