{{Short description|U.S. federal government research agency}} The '''Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion''' ('''CNPP''') is an agency in the [[U.S. Department of Agriculture]], created on December 1, 1994, to improve the health and well-being of Americans by establishing national dietary guidelines based on the best science available. CNPP promotes dietary guidance by linking scientific research to the [[nutrition]]al needs of the American public through the function of USDA's Nutrition Evidence Library, which it created and manages. == Dietary Guidelines == The Center serves as the administrative agency within the [[U.S. Department of Agriculture]] (USDA) for the issuance of the [[Dietary Guidelines for Americans]], which provide evidence-based advice for people 2 years and older about how good dietary habits can promote health and reduce the risk for major chronic diseases.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://health.gov/dietaryguidelines/purpose.asp|title=Purpose - Dietary Guidelines - health.gov|website=health.gov|language=en|access-date=2017-06-23}}</ref> However, as a result of conflicts of interest, the Guidelines sometimes favor the interests of the food and drug industries over the public's interest in accurate and impartial dietary advice.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Herman|first=Jeff|date=2010|title=Saving U.S. dietary advice from conflicts of interest|url=https://www.drmcdougall.com/misc/2010nl/jul/sc%20herman.indd.pdf|journal=Food and Drug Law Journal|volume=65|issue=2|pages=285–316, ii|issn=1064-590X|pmid=24475543}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.ibtimes.com/conflict-interest-usda-nutrition-guidelines-doctors-say-364426|title=Conflict of Interest in USDA Nutrition Guidelines, Doctors Say|date=2011-11-02|work=International Business Times|access-date=2017-06-23}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://time.com/4130043/lobbying-politics-dietary-guidelines/|title=Experts Say Lobbying Skewed the U.S. Dietary Guidelines|last=Heid|first=Markham|date=2016-01-08|website=Time|access-date=2017-06-23}}</ref> The 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines were released on Jan. 7, 2016.<ref>U.S. Department of Agriculture and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Press Release, Jan. 7, 2016.
