Fat free diet and children   

Overview

Alternative names:

Children and fat free diets

Information


Question:
Should children eat fat-free and low-fat foods?

Answer:
There is no reason that children over the age of 2 can't eat low-fat and nonfat foods. Among the healthiest snack foods are fruits and vegetables. The key with children is to teach them healthy eating habits early, and hopefully those habits will continue throughout their life. A certain amount of fat is necessary to help absorb some of the vitamins, including vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, and vitamin K.
