The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity has released the latest "Dietary Guidelines for Americans" including recommendations for each life stage and recommendations for limiting added sugars. This edition of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans expands the guidance, for the first time including recommended healthy dietary patterns for infants and toddlers as well as pregnant and lactating women. The Dietary Guidelines recommend exclusive human milk feeding for about the first 6 months of life, and to continue to feed infants human milk through at least the first year of life, and longer if desired. The Dietary Guidelines serve as the basis for Federal nutrition education materials designed for the public and for the nutrition education components of USDA and HHS nutrition programs. www.dietaryguidelines.gov/?eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=423ab04e-f6c5-42f2-90e3-b9ef8062d1f5 ...
