Adherence
Personalized nutrition approaches should align with population-based recommendations for healthy individuals, with substantial divergence requiring significant scientific justification.
For healthy people, personalized nutrition should generally stay within standard healthy eating guidelines. If a program suggests a radical diet, it should provide strong scientific reasons for why it differs from standard advice.
GoodQualifiesHIGH confidence
Information, advice, or services provided to the generally healthy individual should typically fall within the range of population-based recommendations, such as the DGAs (33).
Why this rating
The paper cites established guidelines (DGAs) and the need for scientific justification for divergence.
