An Evaluation of the Safety of a Low-Saturated-Fat, Low-Cholesterol Diet Beginning in Infancy

Glenn Friedman M.D.1 and Stanley J. Goldberg M.D.1

1 Department of Pediatrics, University of Arizona School of Medicine, Tucson

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 a LSFLC diet since birth as compared to a control group.
