Harvard study corroborates government’s dietary guidelines as experts recommend slashing sugar

10 Jan 2023 — Researchers at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health have demonstrated that healthy eating patterns advised by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) reduce the risk of dying prematurely. Data was collected over 36 years and included 119,315 participants. 

While examining the risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer and respiratory diseases, the study found that the participants that followed at least one out of four healthy eating patterns reduced their mortality risk during the study period.
