This series of individually authored chapters examines the nature and extent of scientific advances in the nutrition sciences and describes both future opportunities in the field and barriers to progress. Despite concern about declining attention to nutrition in universities and medical schools, the authors offer a bright and challenging future in nutrition research and training that should generate enthusiasm among young researchers and teachers for this indispensable component of biology.
This report examines the role of high blood cholesterol levels in the development of CHD in adults. The panel recommends a strategy that combines two complementary approaches to reduce blood cholesterol levels in children: a population approach (change in general diet by reducing the intake of fats), and an individualized approach (through selective screening and treatment).
This publication contains the report of the panel on its findings and recommendations regarding blood cholesterol reduction. Recommendations include: intake of less than 10 percent of total calories from saturated fatty acids; intake of an average of 30 percent, or less, of total calories from all fat; dietary energy levels needed to reach or maintain a desirable body weight; and less than 300 mg. of cholesterol per day. The panel makes recommendations for various groups to become involved with general population strategies.
