New U.S. dietary guidelines, advocating for increased consumption of protein while advising Americans to reduce intake of ultra-processed foods and added sugars have been released. 

These guidelines, updated every five years by the Agriculture and Health and Human Services departments, align with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s “Make America Healthy Again” initiative, although they fall short of some experts’ expectations for more radical changes.

The guidelines emphasize eating whole foods, including fresh vegetables, whole grains, and dairy products, while urging consumers to avoid highly processed foods like chips and candy. The guidelines suggest limiting saturated fat intake to no more than 10% of daily calories, recommending whole-food sources like meat and avocados.

The new guidelines also propose increasing protein intake to 1.2 to 1.6 grams per kilogram of body weight. For a 150-pound person, this translates to 81.6 to 109 grams of protein daily. The guidelines recommend three servings of full-fat dairy per day for a 2,000-calorie diet.

Ford has issued a major safety recall for nearly 4.4 million vehicles in the U.S. because of a software defect affecting the Integrated Trailer Module (ITRM), which can disable trailer lights and, in some cases, trailer brakes.

The recall, which was issued via a notice through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), affects models of Ford pickups and SUVs.

“These conditions result in a noncompliance with federal safety standards and can reduce a driver’s ability to control an attached trailer while making it less visible to other drivers,” Ford said in a statement, Bloomberg reported, adding that it is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires related to the issue.

Forty-six years after a bunch of unheralded amateurs stunned the heavily favored Soviet Union en route to winning Olympic gold, the U.S. men’s hockey team engineered another epic victory. 

The Americans won a battle of the sport’s superpowers on Sunday, toppling longtime nemesis Canada 2-1 in overtime to win their country’s first Olympic gold in men’s hockey since the famed 1980 “Miracle on Ice.”

Jack Hughes scored the decisive goal, ripping a shot past Jordan Binnington less than three minutes into 3-versus-3 overtime.

Hughes was called for a penalty with less than four minutes in regulation, with Team USA fending off the Canadian power play just before time expired. The Americans defeated Canada despite a 42-28 shots on goal disparity, with Connor Hellebuyck recording 41 saves.
