Dietitian and nutrition experts predict that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s day-one priorities may change when he is confirmed as the next Health and Human Services Secretary, but they do not know what those objectives will be. These potential measures may include changing school meal plans, establishing new standards for plant oils and ultra-processed foods, setting limits on toxins, and more. Kennedy, who wants to” Make America Healthy Again”, has been a staunch advocate for changes to the food business and President-elect Donald Trump has said he will have authority to “go exotic on health” if he is confirmed. One of the most significant opportunities for Kennedy may be overseeing the revision of the national president’s” Dietary Guidelines for Americans,” one of the most influential tools for shaping public perceptions of what is good. The second update may be made every five centuries, and it must be completed by 2025. Kennedy, if confirmed, may finally be in charge of hiring the professionals who review the rules. RFK JR ‘ NOT KIDDING ‘ ABOUT AMERICA’S ‘ TOXIC SOUP ‘ DIET, DR. SIEGEL EXPLAINS” I know that they really want to focus on kids”, Nina Teicholz, diet expert and founder of The Nutrition Coalition, told Fox News Digital. Teicholz, who has been in discussions with Kennedy’s staff about the new federal dietary guidelines, suggested that he could probably use them to adopt changes to school lunches, such as adding a restriction on sugar, for which Teicholz said there now is none, and bringing up full milk to school cafeterias, which was prohibited under the Obama administration. The addition of whole milk to school cafeterias could limit how frequently children consume high-sugar, flavored-milk beverages, Teicholz said. She added that the current advice to avoid whole milk from schools, which is based on the saturated fat content of milk, is based on the lack of solid proof that saturated fats have a negative impact on children. ” I think that Kennedy has aimed to stand for evidence-based changes to policy”, Teicholz said. ” So, that means not making policy based on weak science “.Teicholz added that in addition to school lunches, there is other “low-hanging fruit” associated with the guidelines that Kennedy could go after. Kennedy has previously been critical of a section of the food industry, and she could use the guidelines to narrow down the definition of ultra-processed foods. Teicholz also said that research on “ultra-processed foods” is scant, and, therefore, you could see Kennedy commissioning more studies on such foods as well. A writer and nutritionist who has published several New York Times best-selling books about healthier eating, Dave Asprey, who believes it is likely that Kennedy will also add toxin limits to the new dietary guidelines, which are intended for pesticides and herbicides that have come under scrutiny. He added that if Kennedy and his team were to establish new standards for animal feed, he wouldn’t be surprised. As a result, Asprey added that Kennedy’s background as a trial lawyer could be very helpful if he wanted to sue businesses that “are continuing to push outdated, unhealthy guidelines.” Where can he actually cause real change? Because they influence how we feed our children, what we do in hospitals, and a lot of our public policy, Asprey said,” the dietary guidelines are. Kennedy has recently been wooing supporters for his nomination on Capitol Hill, and Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., told him that he would use a light touch and restraint when attempting to regulate the food and agriculture sectors.

Fox News Digital reached out to Kennedy’s representatives, but they did not receive a response.
