Answer to Question 1

The recommended diet includes fruits and vegetables, whole-grain breads and cereals, the use of nonfat or low-fat dairy products, and two servings of fish weekly. The use of vegetable oils and soft margarines low in saturated fat and trans fatty acids instead of butter or most other animal fats is recommended. The recommendations also include reducing intake of sugar-sweetened beverages and foods and reducing salt intake. For children ages 23 years, 3035 percent of total energy from fat is recommended. For children 4 years of age or older, the recommendation is 2535 percent of total energy from fat. A trans fatty acid intake <1 recommended.
