title: Obesity: Have new guidelines overlooked the role of diet composition?
abstract: New US guidelines for the management of overweight and obesity have disregarded robust evidence from intervention trials demonstrating the importance of dietary factors for weight control and disease prevention. This omission implies that diet composition does not matter, a stance that is potentially counterproductive for prevention and treatment strategies.
