UNIVERSITY PARK (Centre
Co.) Children 4 to 10 yean old
who cut the amount of fat in their
meals and snacks to lower their
cholesterol are as well nourished
fe those on unmodified diets, a
Venn State-led team has shown.
Dr. Jennie McKenzie, lead au
thor on the team’s recent report in
the Journal of the American Die
tetic Association, says, “Our re
sults indicate that you carfi safely
feed a 4- to 10-year-old child a
diet in which only 30 percent of
the calories come from fat as long
as you follow the guidelines on the
Food Pyramid.’*
“Parents can be reassured that,
if they follow the Dietary Guide
lines for Americans as illustrated
by the Food Pyramid, they will not
be compromising their child’s

to deal with cardiovascular risk
through a fat-modified diet,” she
added.
Most of the children in the stu
dy had moderately elevated levels
of low-density-lipoprotein (LDL),
sometimes called “bad” cholester
ol, in their blood. Health profes
sionals often recommend low-fat
diets for such children to lower
their risk of heart disease when
they get older by decreasing then
blood lipid levels.
The 303 children, all of whom
came from families in the suburbs
north of Philadelphia, were di
vided into four groups. One group
received face-to-face counseling
once from a registered dietitian
and took home print materials for
themselves and their parents. An-

controls received no educational

Both groups of children who re

dietitian or the home-based educa
tion program, reduced their LDL
blood levels after three months.
However, the group that received
home-based education reduced
their blood lipid levels faster and
showed a greater decline in “bad”

The children in the two inter
vention groups achieved their
lower blood lipid levels by con
suming fewer servings of high fat
meats, dairy products, fats/oils
and desserts and more servings of
lower fat foods.
McKenzie says, “It’s signifi
cant to note that the children did
not stop eating meats, dairy prod
ucts, fats/oils and desserts but ra
ther modified their choices within
those food groups by choosing
fewer servings or lower fat alter
natives.”
As a result, despite the lower
number of servings from some
food groups, the children on modi
fied diets had, on average, ade
quate intakes of all nutrients, de
fined as greater than 67 percent of
the Recommended Daily Allow-

ance, the same as the kids on the
unmodified diets.
McKenzie adds, “It’s possible
that some well-meaning parent
could become overly restrictive
toward their child’s diet and com
promise the child’s nutritional sta
tus. But, if the adult follows the
Food Pyramid guidelines and the
child also receives some counsel
ing or education, it’s safe to feed a
4- to 10-year-old child a diet in
which 30 percent of the calories
come from fat”
