VEGAN Diet Meets Children's Nutritional Needs ADA
Far from an eating disorder. Of course, like all diets, care must be
taken. But then, we know from even Vietnam that typical American diets for in shape Americans were building up artery disease. All diets need care. Vegan Diets Meet Children's Needs - ADA American Dietetic Association: Vegan Diets Meet Children's Nutritional Needs Monday June 18 2:15 PM ET NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - With some careful menu planning, children and even infants raised as vegans can get all the nutrients they need for good health, according to two reports in the June issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association. Because vegans shun all animal products, they may get too little of some nutrients found in meat and dairy products, such as calcium and vitamin B12. Nutrient deficiencies are a particular concern when it comes to growing babies and children. But according to the reports, a well-rounded vegan diet--sometimes supplemented with certain nutrients like B12 and zinc--can provide children with all their nutrition needs. What's more, vegan kids typically eat less fat and cholesterol and more fruits and vegetables than other children do, note Virginia Messina and Dr. Ann Reed Mangels. Messina is a professor at Loma Linda University in California. Mangels acts as a nutrition advisor to the Vegetarian Resource Group in Baltimore, Maryland. Vegans eat only plant-based foods, using fidyl grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables to fill all their dietary needs. A typical vegan substitution would be to use soy milk in place of cow's milk. While these substitutions can work for babies and children, parents need to ensure their children are getting enough of certain vitamins and minerals, according to Messina and Mangels. For example, vitamin B12, which is essential in children's neurological development, exists naturally only in animal products. However, breakfast cereals, soy beverages, nutritional yeast and vegetarian ``meats'' are often fortified with B12, and are important sources of the vitamin for vegans, the study authors point out. The researchers also advise that breast-fed infants of vegan mothers get a regular supplement of vitamin B12, since maternal stores of the vitamin may be low. Infant soy formulas are fortified with vitamin B12 and other nutrients, but Messina and Mangels stress that regular soy milk--like regular cow's milk--is inappropriate for babies younger than one year. As with all infants, an iron-fortified cereal is a good choice as a first solid food, the report indicates. By age 7 to 8 months, vegan protein sources that can be introduced include pureed cooked beans, well-mashed tofu and soy yogurt, the research team writes. Parents should also be careful about their vegan children's supply of zinc, calcium, riboflavin (vitamin B2) and--if sun exposure is inadequate--vitamin D. Key sources of zinc include fortified cereals and certain nuts and beans such as lentils, according to the authors. Calcium-rich vegan foods include fortified tofu, soy milk and orange juice, as well as leafy greens and certain beans. As for iron, good sources include beans, fortified cereals and grains, and dried apricots and raisins. However, some nutrients, including iron and zinc, are not absorbed as well when they come from plant sources. So, Messina and Mangels note, parents may want to consider zinc supplements and be sure to give their kids foods that promote iron absorption--namely, foods rich in vitamin C. Children also need certain essential, unsaturated fatty acids, which can be found in foods like flax seed, canola oil, nuts and soy products. ``The wide availability of convenient vegan foods, many of which are fortified, make it increasingly easy to plan healthful vegan diets for children,'' Messina and Mangels write. ``Vegan diets,'' they conclude, ``can meet the nutrition needs of children if appropriately planned by a knowledgeable adult.''

Eating VEGAN is a healthy alternative, but obviously car must be taken. Potato chips are vegan and they will kill you. It disproves US assertions that VEGAN is an eating disorder, as supported by the ADA. It is not. That doesn't mean as in all eating anything goes. Meanwhile a meat diet is a leading cause of cardio vascular disease. Yes, it can be improved upon. But the results on GI showed plaque and artery disease on young meat eaters in their 20s.

For example, vitamin B12, which is essential in children's neurological development, exists naturally only in animal products. However, breakfast cereals, soy beverages, nutritional yeast and vegetarian ``meats'' are often fortified with B12, and are important sources of the vitamin for vegans, the study authors point out. The researchers also advise that breast-fed infants of vegan mothers get a regular supplement of vitamin B12, since maternal stores of the vitamin may be low. Infant soy formulas are fortified with vitamin B12 and other nutrients, but Messina and Mangels stress that regular soy milk--like regular cow's milk--is inappropriate for babies younger than one year. As with all infants, an iron-fortified cereal is a good choice as a first solid food, the report indicates. By age 7 to 8 months, vegan protein sources that can be introduced include pureed cooked beans, well-mashed tofu and soy yogurt, the research team writes. Parents should also be careful about their vegan children's supply of zinc, calcium, riboflavin (vitamin B2) and--if sun exposure is inadequate--vitamin D. Key sources of zinc include fortified cereals and certain nuts and beans such as lentils, according to the authors. Calcium-rich vegan foods include fortified tofu, soy milk and orange juice, as well as leafy greens and certain beans. As for iron, good sources include beans, fortified cereals and grains, and dried apricots and raisins. However, some nutrients, including iron and zinc, are not absorbed as well when they come from plant sources. So, Messina and Mangels note, parents may want to consider zinc supplements and be sure to give their kids foods that promote iron absorption--namely, foods rich in vitamin C. Children also need certain essential, unsaturated fatty acids, which can be found in foods like flax seed, canola oil, nuts and soy products. ``The wide availability of convenient vegan foods, many of which are fortified, make it increasingly easy to plan healthful vegan diets for children,'' Messina and Mangels write. ``Vegan diets,'' they conclude, ``can meet the nutrition needs of children if appropriately planned by a knowledgeable adult.''

Vegan Diets Meet Children's Needs - ADA American Dietetic Association: Vegan Diets Meet Children's Nutritional Needs Monday June 18 2:15 PM ET NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - With some careful menu planning, children and even infants raised as vegans can get all the nutrients they need for good health, according to two reports in the June issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association. Because vegans shun all animal products, they may get too little of some nutrients found in meat and dairy products, such as calcium and vitamin B12. Nutrient deficiencies are a particular concern when it comes to growing babies and children. But according to the reports, a well-rounded vegan diet--sometimes supplemented with certain nutrients like B12 and zinc--can provide children with all their nutrition needs. What's more, vegan kids typically eat less fat and cholesterol and more fruits and vegetables than other children do, note Virginia Messina and Dr. Ann Reed Mangels. Messina is a professor at Loma Linda University in California. Mangels acts as a nutrition advisor to the Vegetarian Resource Group in Baltimore, Maryland. Vegans eat only plant-based foods, using fidyl grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables to fill all their dietary needs. A typical vegan substitution would be to use soy milk in place of cow's milk. While these substitutions can work for babies and children, parents need to ensure their children are getting enough of certain vitamins and minerals, according to Messina and Mangels. For example, vitamin B12, which is essential in children's neurological development, exists naturally only in animal products.
