摘要：Federal dietary guidance outlined
in the 2000 edition of
Dietary Guidelines for Americans
and depicted in the Food Guide
Pyramid is intended to help consumers
choose diets that improve
health, reduce their risk for dietrelated
chronic disease, and meet
their nutritional needs (fig. 1). The
Food Guide Pyramid helps consumers
put the Dietary Guidelines
into practice by recommending the
type and quantity of foods to eat
from five major food groups¡ª
grains (bread, cereals, rice, and
pasta), vegetables, fruit, dairy (milk,
yogurt, and cheese), and meat (red
meat, poultry, fish, dry beans, eggs,
and nuts). The Pyramid also suggests
that consumers use fats, oils,
and sweets sparingly. The Dietary
Guidelines recommend that Americans
limit total fat intake to no more
than 30 percent of calories, saturated
fat intake to less than 10 percent of
calories, and dietary cholesterol to
less than the Daily Value of 300 milligrams
a day listed on the Nutrition
Facts Label.
