The following is a summary of
some current scientific research
linking a poor diet and chronic
disease:
Did You Know?
• Only an average of 33-36
percent of children in the U.S.
consume the recommended min
imum number of servings (5) of
fruits and vegetables, and dairy
(3) based on USDA’s Food Guide
Pyramid.
• Nationally the percentage of
overweight children aged 6-18
has tripled in the last 30 years,
doubled in the last 20 years, and
is now at 15 percent.
• Nearly one-third of all chil
dren aged S-10 have one cardiac
risk factor, elevated blood choles
terol, high LDL, high triglyce
rides (artery clogging fats in the
blood), elevated insulin levels. 61
percent of overweight children
have one cardiac risk factor, 27
___ percent have two risk fac-
I tors.
• Eating a wide variety of
fruits and vegetables is asso
ciated with lower body
weight. They provide fiber
and a feeling of fullness.
• Fruits and vegetables
contain natural plant chemi
cals; many protect our body’s
cells from cancer and heart
disease. Try adding new
kinds and colorful varieties
for taste and their protective

qualities to your meals and
snacks.
• Dairy foods contain calcium
and Vitamin D, essential for chil
dren to eat now while they are
growing and to protect against
the bone-thinning disease os
teoporosis later in life. Adequate
dietary calcium may also protect
against colon cancer.
• The rate of Type 2 diabetes
in Pennsylvania is exploding—the
major causes are overweight and
physical inactivity.
• Penn State University re
search shows children need to be
exposed to new foods, especially
vegetables, 10-12 or more times
before they will accept them, and
to decrease pickiness as well.
