Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from American Journal of Diseases of Children, Vol. 21 In the course of our metabolism observations on young children many interesting facts have been brought out with respect to the general food requirements as to total calories, distribution of the calories as fat, carbohydrate and protein, and other factors in the diet which must be considered. One notes in the literature on the food requirements of growing children a great difference of opinion among the various observers who have studied the subject. Many writers have taken up this problem from only a single point of view, such as the total caloric requirement, or the basal requirement, or the food needs in respect to one or another of the accessory food substances, the so-called "vitamins." We have, therefore, thought it desirable to consider in its different aspects the whole subject of the food requirements of the child during the entire period of growth. We shall discuss in this paper the total caloric requirements of children and the different factors which must be reckoned with in estimating the total calories. In succeeding papers we shall take up the proper distribution of the calories of the food as fat, carbohydrate and protein, also other important factors in the diet such as roughage, the difference in growth-promoting properties of the different proteins, the supply of essential inorganic salts and the accessory food substances or vitamins. At various times and by various authors each of the different factors mentioned has been discussed, but as yet no one has attempted to correlate them all and study the food needs of the child in the entire aspect. The estimates of total caloric requirements of children made by some authors have been purely hypothetical, while others have been based on the requirements of adults.
