The American Heart Association is considered by many, at best, a staid organization pumping decades old dietary advice (like the food pyramid based 'Standard American Diet'), a lot of which is questionable according to newer research. Stuff like endorsing industrially produced seed oil as 'healthy fat'.
Some go further and accuse them of serving industry interests. Whatever the case may be, I personally pay the AHA very little attention, based on my own experience and research into diet and health, and how it squares up with their 1950s-era advice.
