in vegetable fats, including the
so-called "polyunsaturated," as
well as in butterfat. Since these
fatty acids comprise only a frac
tion of butterfat, and since most
market milk is 3.5% or loss in
fat, these fatty acids do not en
ter the diet in significant
amounts from whole milk.
Other research has shown that
whole milk is no more respon
sible for elevating blood cho
lesterol than is the average
American diet, and, not more so
as claimed by many groups.
Coconut oil contains very lit
tle, if any, linoleic acid. This
fatty acid is an essential nutri
ent, and is a matter of particu
lar concern from the standpoint
of infant nutrition. A deficiency
of linoleic acid produces skin
lesions as well as other symp
toms. A diet consisting solely of
coconut oil (presently most us
ed fat ingredient of artificial
milk) as a source of fat is
routinely used in producing a
linoleic acid deficiency in labor
atory studies with rats.
There is very little clinical
data on the suitability of using
coconut oil in the diet of in
fants and children. In one study,
a coconut oil formula was com
pared with evaporated milk in
the diet of infants. The coconut
oil formula was poorly tolerat
ed by the infants; their weight
gains were lower than with eva
porated milk, and they develop
ed diarrhea.
On January 17, 1968, National
Dairy Council called together
six leading nutritional authori
ties to obtain their opinion con
cerning the nutritional evalua
tion of some of the filled and
imitation products appearing on
the market today.
This group agreed unanimous
ly that:

certain of the filled milks as
