US Government revises Dietary Guidelines




The federal government on Thursday told Americans not to worry so much about cholesterol in their diets, that lots of coffee is fine and that skipping breakfast is no longer considered a health hazard. The recommendations were part of a new "Dietary Guidelines for Americans," the influential nutrition advice book that, updated every five years, expresses official thinking about what constitutes a nutritious meal. In what may be the most striking change, the new version drops the strict limit on dietary cholesterol, stepping back from one of most prominent public health messages since the ’60s.

The US Government revised dietary guidelines just two days before the New Moon of Jan.9. A chart for the New Moon at Washington, DC is shown here. Notice that the Moon triggers the Uranus-Pluto square which makes hard aspects to the Ascendant.  Ebertin’s  keyphrase for Uranus-Pluto is relevant in the present context.

Uranus-Pluto: The process of transformation. The collapse of the old order of things, the construction of the new.

Aspecting the meridian axis are a few  asteroids. Ceres is in the 6th house (public health) square the meridian while Asclepius and Valentine are on the IC. Keywords for the asteroids are provided by Martha Wescott [1]. 

AESCULAPIA: Contact with physicians (including the internal healer) and belief systems about the health, symptoms and medical conditions. See aspects of “in need of or contributing to Healing.”
VALENTINE: As with Eros: passion, intimacy, the heart and the reproductive system.
CERES: The need for nurturing; food; the relationship between mother & child; issues of “taking care of” people, plants and animals; growths/cysts; herbs and grains.

So what has collapsed? A belief system about food related issues as they effect health in general and the heart in particular.
