The guidelines, released Monday in a document called “Diet In The Healthy Child,” note that most children do have good dietary habits, but these degenerate as they reach adult hood and make them more pro ne to heart attacks and vascular disease.. “The goal is to try to prevent the rise in cholesterol levels in children by developing an eat ing pattern in childhood which will make it possible to keep levels down later in life,” the booklet said. The guidelines also con tained a “strong recommenda tion that children limit their in take of salt by cutting down on highly salted processed foods and sodium-containing condi ments and not adding salt to foods.” On cholesterol, the statement recommended no more tham 300 milligrams of cholesterol per day, with a fat ratio of approximately 10:10:10 — that is, 10 percent saturated fats, ab out 10 percent monounsatured and less than 10 percent po ly unsatured. Although cholesterol con sumption levels vary by race and culture, recent federal studies reveal a rapid change as white boys grow into adults — from 391 milligrams at age 10 to 505 milligrams at age 19. Existing evidence indicates that atherosclerosis (a degenera tive disease of the arteries that can lead to hardened or blocked blood passages) begins in the childhood years, the Heart Association said. Artery disease is a major cause of heart attack. “Cholesterol is transported in the bloodstream in fat-rich molecules called lipoproteins. (It) appears to be harmful to the body,” the report said. A healthy diet should empha size fresh fruits and vegetables, complex carbohydrates and high quality protein such as dairy products and lean cuts of meat, fish and chicken. The Heart Association noted that many low-fat dairy products are available. The group said egg yolks “contain a concentrated amount of cholesterol and should be li mited .” Daily caloric intake should be based on growth rate, activity level and amount and content of fat on the child‘s body, the Heart Association said. Generally, however, a child’s daily intake of calories should be divided in this manner: 15 per cent from protein, 55 percent from complex carbohydrates such as beans, cereals and Any family’s diet should be nutritionally adequate in vita mins and minerals and consist of a variety of foods, the group said. In New York, the Amer ican Council on Science and Health, a consumer-education group, said it saw no harm in reducing the calorie and sodium content of the diets of some chil dren. But a statement added, “We have serious reservations about the recommendations of the American Heart Association task force.” It said the recommendations “are based on speculative and controversial results in the area of diet and prevention of heart disease. The recommendations may lead parents to eliminate highly nutritious foods (particu larly eggs, whole milk and meat products) from the diets of chil dren.” 2 killed, 7 injured in Juarez wrecks v inland Class not eat aw vhich the tli ng the east iver. lined a hike tv in ad inary res* or 2'/a how to save le Sandoval!
