DALLAS — The American
Heart Association recommends
children begin a lifelong pattern
of healthy eating by sharply re
ducing their consumption of salt
and cholesterol, especially from
high fat-foods like meats and
dairy products.
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.”
