Research Brief
Traditionally, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans has been directed at all healthy Americans across a wide age range (i.e., two years of age and older). However, nutrient needs and risk for developing chronic diseases differ substantially with age. Recognition that children are not little adults has led to increased support for separate dietary guidelines for children in recent years. Before dietary recommendations are made for children, there should be firm evidence of benefit and lack of harm. one-size-fits-all" dietary guidance to "choose a diet low in fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol" does not appear to meet these criteria. There is no scientific evidence demonstrating that consuming this diet beginning in childhood lowers blood cholesterol levels or risk of coronary heart disease in adulthood. Further, dietary fat restrictions may compromise children's nutrient intake and growth.
Adequate calcium intake is especially important for children to optimize their peak bone mass, which reduces the risk of osteoporosis in later years. Unfortunately, few children meet their dietary recommendations for calcium, largely because of their low intake of milk and other dairy foods. Therefore, dietary guidelines for children should include recommendations to increase intake of calcium-rich foods.
