Description
Arista Nienaber and co-authors reviewed fat recipes in therapeutic foods for severely wasted children in 2023. Standard ready-to-use foods help, yet their omega-3 fat levels run low and unbalanced. The team compared recipes with altered fats for brain and clinical outcomes in children aged six months to five years.
Ten trials qualified from twelve databases and trial lists. Recipes with added fish oil raised key omega-3 levels in blood and lifted some development scores. High-oleic recipes improved social scores. Death risk ran higher on the standard recipe than on lower-ratio recipes. The authors support fat reformulation, with care for cost and supply.
