... Because the evidence is less clear on whether low or high fat intakes during childhood can lead to increased risk of chronic diseases later in life, the estimated AMDRs for fat for children are primarily based on a transition from the high fat intakes that occur during infancy to the lower adult AMDR. The AMDR for fat is 30 to 40 percent of energy for children 1 to 3 years of age and 25 to 35 percent of energy for children 4 to 18 years of age.
From page 770...
... high intakes of linoleic acid create a pro-oxidant state that may predispose to several chronic diseases, such as CHD and cancer. Therefore, an AMDR of 5 to 10 percent of energy is estimated for n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (linoleic acid)
From page 771...
... While some nutrients are present in both animal- and plant-derived foods, others are only present or are more abundant in either animal or plant foods. For example, animal-derived foods contain significant amounts of protein, saturated fatty acids, long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, and the micronutrients iron, zinc, and vitamin B12, while plant-derived foods provide greater amounts of carbohydrate, Dietary Fiber, linoleic and -linolenic acids, and micronutrients such as vitamin C and the B vitamins.

... Low Fat, High Carbohydrate Diets of Adults The chronic diseases of greatest concern with respect to relative intakes of macronutrients are CHD, diabetes, and cancer. In this section, the relationship between total fat and total carbohydrate intakes are considered.

... Cross-country epidemiological data of dietary fat intake and obesity have yielded mixed results (Bray and Popkin, 1998;
From page 793...
... observed no association between fat intake and weight gain prospectively, but did find a positive association between previous weight
From page 794...
... . Another line of evidence often cited to indicate that dietary fat is not an important contributor to obesity is that although there has been a reduction in the percent of energy from fat consumed in the United States, there has been an increase in energy intake and a marked gain in average weight (Willett, 1998)
From page 795...
... In the studies that administered preloads that had constant volume but different energy content (energy density was altered by changing dietary fat content) , there was no consistent difference in subsequent satiety or hunger between the various test meals (Durrant and Royston, 1979; Green et al., 1994; Hill et al., 1987; Himaya et al., 1997; Hulshof et al., 1993; Louis-Sylvestre et al., 1994; Porrini et al., 1995; Rolls et al., 1994)
From page 796...
... An alternative way to study the effects of energy density on energy intake in short-term studies has been to compare energy intake between diets of similar energy density that differ in dietary fat content. Using this approach, when fat content was covertly varied between 20 and 60 percent of energy, there was no significant difference in energy intake between groups (Saltzman et al., 1997; Stubbs et al., 1996; van Stratum et al., 1978)
From page 797...
... In addition, short- and long-term intervention studies provide evidence that reduced fat intake is accompanied by reduced energy intake and therefore moderate weight reduction or prevention of weight gain. For these reasons, it may be concluded that higher fat intakes are accompanied with increased energy intake and therefore increased risk for weight gain in populations that are already disposed to overweight and obesity, such as that of North America.
From page 798...
... conducted a meta-analysis on 37 intervention studies that evaluated the effects of the National Cholesterol Education Program's Step I and Step II dietary interventions on various cardiovascular disease risk factors. Reductions in plasma total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol concentrations were significantly correlated with reductions in percentages of total dietary fat, but these also included a decrease in saturated fatty acids.
From page 799...
... For example, if all of the dietary fats consumed were low in saturated fatty acids (e.g., 20 percent of fat energy) , a total fat intake of 35 percent of total energy would yield a saturated fatty acid intake of 7 percent of total energy.

... . An important question is whether humans are similarly susceptible to this phenomenon independent of the effects of total fat intake on body fat content.
From page 803...
... These analyses are difficult to interpret because of the multiplicity of potential confounding variables. Nevertheless, several studies have reported an association between higher fat intakes and insulin resistance as indicated by high fasting insulin concentration, impaired glucose tolerance, or impaired insulin sensitivity (Lovejoy and DiGirolamo, 1992; Marshall et al., 1991; Mayer et al., 1993)

... . However, favorable effects of substituting a monounsaturated fat diet for a saturated fat diet on insulin sensitivity were seen at a total fat intake of up to 37 percent of energy (Vessby et al., 2001)
From page 807...
... Any suggestive links between fat intake and either insulin secretion or sensitivity may be mediated through confounding factors, such as body-fat content, making it difficult to detect any independent contribution of total fat intake to insulin sensitivity. Conclusions.
From page 808...
... . With higher fat intakes, it is difficult to create practical high fat menus that do not contain unacceptably high amounts of saturated fatty acids (National Cholesterol Education Program, 2001)
From page 809...
... Moreover, high fat diets are usually accompanied by increased intakes of saturated fatty acids, which can raise plasma LDL cholesterol concentrations and further increase risk for CHD. Based on the apparent risk for CHD that may occur on low fat diets, and the risk for increased energy intake and therefore obesity with the consumption of high fat diets, the AMDR for fat and carbohydrate is estimated to be 20 to 35 and 45 to 65 percent of energy, respectively, for all adults.
From page 810...
... . Growth Most studies have reported no effect of the level of dietary fat on growth when energy intake is adequate (Boulton and Magarey, 1995; Fomon et al., 1976; Lagström et al., 1999; Lapinleimu et al., 1995; Niinikoski et al., 1997a, 1997b; Obarzanek et al., 1997; Shea et al., 1993)
From page 811...
... reported that 1-year-old children who consistently consumed low fat diets (less than 28 percent) grew as well as children with higher fat intakes.
From page 812...
... reported reduced intakes of certain micronutrients by 10-year-old children who consumed less than 30 percent of energy as fat; however, this level of fat intake was associated with marked increased intakes of candy. It has been suggested that children who consume a low fat diet can meet their micronutrient recommendation by appropriate selection of certain low fat foods (Peterson and SigmanGrant, 1997)
From page 813...
... From 1989 to 1995, energy intakes increased for U.S. children aged 2 to 17 years primarily due to increased carbohydrate consumption.
From page 814...
... The evidence for a role of dietary fat intakes in promoting higher energy intakes and thus promoting obesity in young children is conflicting. A positive trend in energy intake was associated with an increased percent of energy from fat for children up to 8 years of age (Boulton and Magarey, 1995)
From page 815...
... . However, no significant association between dietary fat and LDL cholesterol concentration was observed for boys and girls (aged 8 to 10 years)
From page 816...
... Furthermore, with increasing levels of fat intake, the intake of saturated fat relative to linoleic acid intake markedly increases. AMDRs for Children The evidence suggests that children have a higher fat oxidation rate compared to adults, and that reduced intake of certain micronutrients can occur with the consumption of low fat diets, whereas there is potential risk of obesity with high fat intakes.
From page 817...
... Compared to baseline values, serum total cholesterol concentrations changed from ­17 to +3 percent on the low fat, high carbohydrate diet, whereas it changed from ­20 to ­3 percent on the high monounsaturated fatty acid diet. The range of decrease in plasma low density lipoprotein (LDL)
From page 818...
... Furthermore, a meta-analysis of feeding studies estimated that the regression coefficients for the effects of monounsaturated fatty acids on LDL and HDL cholesterol concentrations were ­0.008 and +0.006, respectively, suggesting a slight positive benefit (Clarke et al., 1997)
From page 819...
... A few epidemiological studies have reported an inverse relationship between monounsaturated fatty acid intake and risk of breast cancer (Willett et al., 1992; Wolk et al., 1998) , while a number of studies reported no association (Holmes et al., 1999; Hunter et al., 1996; Jones et al., 1987; Kushi et al., 1992; van den Brandt et al., 1993; van't Veer et al., 1990)
From page 820...
... are not required to supply essential nutrients, very low intakes of monounsaturated fatty acids would require increased intakes of other types of fatty acids to achieve recommended fat intakes. Consequently, intakes of saturated and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids would probably exceed a desirable level of intake (see "n-6 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids" and Chapter 8)
From page 821...
... . Risk of Nutrient Inadequacy Dietary n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids have been reported to contribute approximately 5 to 7 percent of total energy intake of adults (Allison et al., 1999; Fischer et al., 1985)
From page 822...
... . Linoleic acid, the predominant n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid, is essential in the diet, and therefore an Adequate Intake (AI)
From page 823...
... High n-6 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Diets Risk of LDL Oxidation When exposed to oxidant stress, n-6 fatty acids are vulnerable to attack by free radicals and oxidation into lipid peroxides (Halliwell and Chirico, 1993)
From page 824...
... Compared with monounsaturated fatty acids, in vitro susceptibility of LDLs to undergo oxidative modification has been shown to increase with increased linoleic acid content in LDLs as a result of increased intakes of linoleic acid (Abbey et al., 1993; Berry et al., 1991; Bonanome et al., 1992; Louheranta et al., 1996; Reaven et al., 1991, 1993, 1994)
From page 825...
... concluded that it was unlikely that high intakes of linoleic acid substantially raise the risk of breast, colorectal, or prostate cancer. Risk of Nutrient Excess High intakes of linoleic acid can inhibit the formation of long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids from -linolenic acid, which are precursors to the important eicosanoids (see Chapter 8)
From page 826...
... Many of the epidemiological studies used fish or fish oil intake as a surrogate for n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid intake. The amounts of n-3 fatty acids vary greatly in fish, however, and unless the amounts of n-3 fatty acids are known, any conclusions are open to question.
From page 827...
... . In the Nurses' Health Study, higher consumption of fish and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids were associated with a reduced risk of total stroke and thrombotic infarction
From page 828...
... . The consumption of 3.65 to 6 g/d of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids inhibits platelet aggregation, which in turn prevents the risk of CHD (Mori et al., 1997; Tremoli et al., 1995)
From page 829...
... n-3 Polyunsaturated fatty acids have also been reported to reduce blood pressure in hypertensive individuals. A meta-analysis of 31 placebocontrolled trials estimated a mean reduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressure of 3.0 and 1.5 mm Hg, respectively (Morris et al., 1993)

From page 833...
... Whether a change of dietary fat composition will alter insulin sensitivity in humans remains an open question.

From page 836...
... To minimize saturated fatty acid intake requires decreased intake of animal fats (e.g., meat fat and butter fat) and certain oils, such as coconut and palm kernel oil.

... conducted a study in female rats chemically induced for mammary tumors and fed a diet containing either 2 percent or 12 percent linoleic acid. The rats were also supplemented with 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, or 2 percent CLA.
From page 838...
... CLA may compete with linoleic acid in its conversion to arachidonic acid, thereby reducing the biosynthesis of eicosanoids (Banni et al., 1999) , which have been associated with the proliferation of cultured breast cancer cells (Karmali, 1986; Noguchi et al., 1995)
