On a study of 48,835 healthy women aged 50-79 followe on average for 8.1 years;
* Just Reducing Total Fat Consumption and increasing veg servings(The Old Guidline, however note the new guidleine is different)
"Following an eating pattern lower in total fat did not significantly reduce the incidence of breast cancer, heart disease, or stroke, and did not reduce the risk of colorectal cancer in healthy postmenopausal women, according to the latest clinical trial results from the National Institutes of Health’s Women’s Health Initiative (WHI)."
* The new guidline FYI is
"The results of this study do not change established recommendations on disease prevention. Women should continue to get regular mammograms and screenings for colorectal cancer, and work with their doctors to reduce their risks for heart disease including following a diet low in saturated fat, trans fat and cholesterol,” said National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Director Elizabeth G. Nabel, M.D.
The U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that adults keep total fat intake between 20 and 35 percent of calories, and saturated fats less than 10 percent of calories, with most fats coming from sources of polyunsaturated fats and monounsaturated fats, such as fish, nuts, and vegetable oils. For people with heart disease or at high risk for heart disease, targets for saturated fats may be further lowered. "
*Finally on the glycemic index (The biggest criticism from Harvard)
"The study also found that following a high-carbohydrate, low-fat eating pattern does not increase body weight, triglycerides or indicators of increased risk of diabetes such as blood glucose or insulin levels in women."
That pretty much shoots their claims on that one.
**"However, supporters contend that once you understand the Pyramid it is very easy to live by, it makes it clear that exercise is necessary, and that the MyPyramid.gov site, while complaes, provides a wealth of information." Putting this in the Criticisms section eliminates the point of having a Criticism section. Splitting off into a new section if not backed up. Also, what does "while complaes" mean?--WaltCip 13:43, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: An update: the new guidelines mentioned in the above news item have gone live as of June 2011 and the new website is http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. This means the food pyramid is now obsolete or of historical interest and future edits of the wikipedia article should now reflect this. Fourcultures (talk) 10:43, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
