    Abstract

    Children do not normally develop atherosclerosis. However, the do develop fatty streaks in the aorta. These are reversible. During the first years of life dietary fat has an influence on blood lipids, and other traditional risk factors influence vascular function, but the consequences are unknown. As saturated fat has no positive effects, the Danish Nutrition Council recommends that the intake of saturated fat is reduced to 10 energy per cent from the age of 12 months. This can be accomplished with semi-skimmed milk (1.5% fat) instead of full-cream milk. During the first year of life, it is recommended that a teaspoon of fat is added to each serving of home made mashed food or porridge to prevent the diet from being so hypocaloric that it has a negative effect on growth.
