US Health Secretary RFK Jr is set to recommend Americans eat more saturated fats, dairy, and meat in new dietary guidelines, going against traditional expert advice. He believes that foods high in saturated fats like cheese, milk, and red meat have been unfairly demonized and should be consumed more. However, experts suggest that swapping out saturated fats for unsaturated fats reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.

RFK Jr's guidance is controversial and is part of his Make America Healthy Again initiative, which has been criticized for spreading misinformation on health, nutrition, vaccines, and neurodivergence. Despite backlash, the new dietary guidelines are still in development and expected to be released by the end of the year, promoting the consumption of saturated fats and animal products as part of a healthy diet.
