They did not retract or change their position, though.
And they still publish information based on the same wording and conclusions they had when they did publish a position.
I’m not sure what’s so confusing about this. They did not change their position on plant-based diets, and I believe because it would be redundant to keep saying what the science has confirmed year after year.
Is there any position they continually confirm year after year? If so, I’d be really surprised, unless the science isn’t supporting their position, so they have to give their reasons for still having them.
The only article I linked was reviewed by their people just a few weeks ago, so it’s as current as you could expect.
they have published a version of this position continually since the early '90s at least. if you look at the position paper that’s linked, you can see the specifics. this position has expired and not been renewed for years. that is good reason to believe that it will not be renewed and will no longer be the position of the academy.
Why do they continue to publish articles literally stating the same facts, word for word, from those old, published position statements?
The science hasn’t changed. In fact, it’s only supported plant-based diets over the years.
If you talk to a registered dietitian today, they will say the same thing. At least, that’s been my experience through working with several over the years.
Either way, it doesn’t particularly matter to me. I’ve been vegan for over two decades and my doctor is quite happy with my health.

then there is no need to lie about the position the academy
