US nutritionists call for dietary guideline limits on saturated fat intake to be lifted
Leading nutrition scientists have called for an urgent rethink of the 2020 US dietary guidelines, to be published at the end of this year. In a letter to Congress, nutrition researchers and former members of the dietary guideline advisory committee (DGAC) have urged the departments of health and human services and agriculture to give “serious and immediate consideration” to lifting the cap placed on saturated fat intake. The letter concludes that “there is no strong scientific evidence that the current population-wide upper limits on commonly consumed saturated fats in the US will prevent cardiovascular disease or reduce mortality. A continued limit on these fats is not justified.” The conclusion runs counter to the prevailing view that consuming saturated fat raises low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and increases …

Commodity Classic | Commodity Classic Announces Transition to Digital Experience
FOR MORE INFORMATION Cathryn Wojicki (NCGA)636.733.5531 Wendy Brannen (ASA) wbrannen@soy.org Sandra Mason (AEM)920.342.4405 In-Person 2021 Event Will Not Take Place Due to COVID-19 Restrictions ST. LOUIS, MO (October 30, 2020)— Commodity Classic has announced it will transition its annual conference and trade show, originally scheduled for March 4-6, 2021, in San Antonio, Tex., to an alternative digital format. The change was necessary due to restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The new format is expected to be offered the first week in March 2021. “This is about doing the right thing for our farmers, exhibitors, stakeholders and the broader community in terms of health and safety—which is our top priority,” said Anthony Bush, an Ohio corn farmer and co-chair of the 2021 Commodity Classic representing the National Corn Growers Association. “After careful deliberation among our farmer-leaders and industry partners, the COVID-19 restrictions would prevent us from delivering the type of high quality experience Commodity Classic attendees and exhibitors have come to expect and enjoy for the past 25 years.” According to Brad Doyle, an Arkansas soybean farmer and co-chair of the 2021 Commodity Classic representing the American Soybean Association, directed health measures due to the evolving COVID-19 pandemic such as social distancing guidelines would prevent Commodity Classic from conducting the trade show, educational sessions and farmer networking—each of which are hallmarks of Commodity Classic. “Farmers and agribusiness companies rate Commodity Classic highly because of its unique energy, excitement and one-on-one engagement with agribusiness companies and fellow farmers,” he said. “The health and safety restrictions required will simply not allow us to provide a productive in-person event that is in keeping with our 25 years of being the nation’s best farmer-led, farmer-focused ag experience.” The transition of the 2021 Commodity Classic offers an attractive opportunity for farme...
