The Department of Health and Human Services, alongside Dr. Oz, announced a new health and safety notice requiring hospitals to align their food purchases with federal dietary guidelines. Eligibility for Medicare and Medicaid payments will now be tied to these nutritional standards. While officials claim hospitals welcome the mandate to improve procurement, skeptics argue that institutional apathy and existing contracts with companies like Sysco will hinder real change.

Health Canada is reportedly overhauling its national food guide, with draft copies suggesting that dairy products may be removed as a distinct food group. Instead, dairy would be categorized under "proteins," a move that has sparked debate within the dairy industry.

### Salt Institute Claims and the Obesity Epidemic

- **Published:** 2011-02-20

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/280-husslin-for-humanity/chapter/salt-institute-claims-and-the-obesity-epidemic.md

A representative from the Salt Institute argues that federal dietary guidelines recommending low salt intake may be counterproductive and discriminatory. Research from Harvard Medical School is cited, suggesting that low-salt diets can increase insulin resistance, a precursor to type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, the theory posits that reducing salt leads to increased caloric consumption as the body attempts to satisfy its innate salt appetite, potentially worsening the obesity crisis.

The FDA has released new dietary guidelines urging specific groups, including African Americans and those over 51, to limit salt intake to 1,500 milligrams per day. The hosts criticize the "expert on the payroll" news segments promoting these restrictions, calling the science behind the salt-hypertension link "bogus." They view the guidelines as part of the global "Codex Alimentarius" harmonization effort.
