New YORK (Reuters Health) – die Schüler der der
Gymnasien in California, ein Zustand, der steuert die
Verkauf von Junk-Food in Verkaufsautomaten Schule
verbrauchen weniger Kalorien als Studenten in Staaten ohne das
Standard.
“waren sehr zufrieden mit den Unterschieden, vor allem
Kalorien und Zucker”, sagte Daniel Taber, Hauptautor
der Studie und Professor der University of Illinois in Chicago.
die Studie zeigt, dass die Schüler nicht
Ersetzen mit dem gesunden Essen ungesund
aber Kalifornien Gesetz “war ein erster Schritt” zur Verbesserung der
Ernährung von Jugendlichen, als Patricia Crawford,
Professor der University of California, Berkeley, wer nicht
teilgenommen study.
several years ago, California ordered that the products that
schools offered in vending machines or by other
media outside lunch provide no more than 250 calories (not
more than 35 percent through fats and up to 35 by
cent of its weight from added sugars).
Taber team compared consumption of those
products among students of California, 14 States without those
limitations school.
the study, published in Archives of Pediatrics and
Adolescent Medicine, included information from more than 100
students from California and about 560 students from other States
obtained during the first half of 2010.
California teens consume 158 calories
daily less than the rest of the participants, mainly
because schoolchildren. ate fewer calories during the hours
Although the study did not analyze how diet of the
adolescents influenced their health, “a difference of 158
calories helps a lot to prevent overweight, especially if the
physical activity level is appropriate”, said Taber.
California students also ate 17 grams
less sugar than the rest, but not necessarily chose by
healthier foods.
participants consumed the same proportion of vitamins
and minerals. “all States could achieve that schools
offer healthier, as well as prohibit products the
foods and drinks rich in fat, sugar and calories”,
indicated Taber.
author commented that although other States had taken
measures in that direction, California was the most ambitious in
these terms. “should receive a round of applause for their measures. even
thus, the lesson is that their laws are just a point of
heading”, noted.
the United States Agriculture Department (USDA, by
its English name) is developing federal standards
for foods that may be offered to students in the
vending machines or in school canteens.
Crawford felt that the study is a good first step in
analysis of food effects of laws of
California.
“I am glad that they have taken the first step to learn about the
benefits nutritional. and because there are those benefits,
must move forward”, ended.
