Dietary Fiber and Nutrient Density Are Inversely Associated with the Metabolic Syndrome in US Adolescents

“These findings suggest that to reduce the risks for MetS in adolescents, it is more important to emphasize a paradigm that promotes the inclusion of fiber-rich, nutrient-dense, plant-based foods vs what foods to restrict or exclude as is commonly done when the focus is on total fat, cholesterol, or saturated fat intake.”

One thought on “Dietary Fiber and Nutrient Density Are Inversely Associated with the Metabolic Syndrome in US Adolescents

  1. I agree. My aim in life (these days) is to try to interest families in nutrition while the kids are young, through stories and a cocky chef who somehow manages to work food into any discussion.
