Guidelines for a healthy diet 2006

The Guidelines for a healthy diet are intended to support the food policy of the Dutch government and the monitoring of the impact of such policy. The guidelines also form the basis for nutrition education in the Netherlands. The previous version of Guidelines for a healthy diet appeared in 1986. The new guidelines reflect current scientific knowledge and thinking in this field.
