"American Diets Improve Slightly, But Veggies Still Lacking"
A study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine reveals that the quality of the American diet has seen modest improvements over the past two decades, with fewer adults having poor dietary quality. However, significant disparities remain, particularly among marginalized communities. The study highlights increased consumption of healthier foods like nuts, whole grains, and poultry, and decreased intake of refined grains and sugary drinks. Despite some progress, the diet quality gap persists, especially for young adults, women, Hispanic adults, and those with higher education and income levels.
