The focus of this review\u0000is to discuss specific recommendations from the 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans that lack sound\u0000scientific evidence; these include: 1) Allowing approximately half of all grains to be refined; 2) The continued\u0000recommendations for fat-free or low-fat dairy and limitation of saturated fat intake to <10% of calories; 3)\u0000Sodium intake < 2,300 mg/day; and 4) Consumption of up to 27 g/day of “oils” (high in polyunsaturated fat\u0000or monounsaturated fat).
