New consumer research from the International Food Information Council (IFIC) indicates that just over half of Americans believe carbohydrate-rich foods can be part of a healthy diet, underscoring ongoing uncertainty about their role in health. In this fireside-style discussion, Maya Feller, MS, RDN, CDN, and Monica Amburn, MS, RDN, LDN, will address current scientific evidence, dietary guidance, and consumer perceptions related to carbohydrate-rich foods. The conversation will also explore the role of these foods within healthy dietary patterns, considering nutrient quality, cultural relevance, access, and population-level factors that influence dietary choices. 

Continuing Professional Education: This webinar is pending 1 CPEU per the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR), the credentialing agency for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
