An evaluation of the safety of a low saturated fat, low cholesterol diet beginning in infancy
1976
Friedman, Glenn | Goldberg, Stanley J.
Extract: This study was designed to detect developmental, body chemistry, or somatic differences that might be present in children who had been on a low saturated fat, low cholesterol (LSFLC) diet since birth. Comparison to a matched control group at age 3 years failed to demonstrate significant differences in percentile height, percentile weight, head circumference, age, skinfold thickness, total serum protein, hemoglobin, number of failures on a Denver Developmental Screening test, or number of sick visits. Experimental children did have significantly lower serum cholesterol than a large group of children of similar age. It is concluded that at age 3 years, no significant adverse findings were present in the group who had been nourished on LSDLC diet since birth compared to a control group.
