Childhood nutrition: from breastmilk to burgers.
Well-child care provides opportunities for nutrition education and the prevention of nutritional diseases. It is important to look at not only the food that is eaten but the relationships in which the food is offered. Significant impacts on the prevalence of iron deficiency and poverty-related malnutrition are possible. More research is needed on cholesterol reduction and on the prevention and treatment of obesity.
