l early in life. The reason would be that if dietary fat is high enough, then the body would not need to produce more of its own. But if the fat isn't there early in life, the body begins producing excess cholesterol, and this may continue even later in life."

The researchers recognize that childhood obesity is an increasing and persistent problem in the United States, but they say that restricting fat intake isn't doing these children any favors. "It seems that children are very good at knowing how many calories they need in a day," Watkins says. "They are much better than adults at this. So let them decide how much to eat.

"Instead of restricting fat, we need to encourage physical activity in children. The problem is that kids today spend too much time in front of the television."
