A government contractor behind a study aimed at pushing Health and Human Services to approve alcohol-intake recommendations that would have Americans abandon drinking altogether later improperly published its “biased” findings in a medical journal — without permission — in an effort to force the Trump administration to adopt its preferred guidelines, according to the House Oversight Committee.
The committee has been investigating the development of alcohol consumption guidelines for the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, including a study on alcohol intake and health commissioned under the Biden Administration by the Interagency Coordinating Committee on the Prevention of Underage Drinking (ICCPUD), convened by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMSHA) within HHS.
