The study:
1,000 Finnish kids were divided into two groups at 7 months of age:
- Those advised to give their children a low saturated fat (i.e., low animal fat) diet.
- Those who received no dietary advice.
At age 16, boys (but not girls for some reason) on a low saturated-fat diet had:
- Arteries that could widen larger and allow more blood flow.
- Lower cholesterol levels.
A low saturated fat diet, started early in life, may improve the cardiovascular well-being of children, especially boys.
Dr. P's comments
I think it's pretty clear that a low saturated fat diet is beneficial for all humans, and that includes your kids. That implies that your family's diet should generally include:
- Only low fat or skim and milk products like yogurt ice cream
- More chicken, more fish, less red meat.
- More broiling and baking, much less frying.
- More vegetable oil (without trans fats), much less butter.
- Much more whole grains, fruits and veggies.
This was not - repeat not - a low fat diet. It was a low animal fat diet. Kids need dietary fat for optimal brain development.
A caveat from Dr. P:
In the U.S., it is recommended to give whole milk until age 2 or so. Until there is more research, I am playing it safe and recommending to continue to do so (although I suspect when there are enough further studies, we'll see that the saturated fats in whole milk aren't really crucial for brain development and low fat milk from the start is a good idea).
