The FDA’s definition of ‘healthy’ is getting an upgrade
Verywell Health: Hope Barkoukis, professor and chair of the Department of Nutrition at the School of Medicine, talked about the changes coming at the Food and Drug Administration. “We’ve evolved so that now, when we talk about the right nutrition messaging around fat, it’s not just about quantity. It’s like your friends in life—it’s not about how many you have, but the quality of those friends,” she said. “Will they be there for you when you need them? We’ve made that huge transition—it’s not a focus exclusively on total fat, but rather the quality.”
