Document Summary
Lack of evidence to determine requirement or need to increase from current median intake: ai based on median intakes of lactating women without df. Small amount of epa and dha can contribute towards reversing df. Fish oil supplements=increase mother milk and newborn dha (almost all absorbed) Higher rq and rates of cho utilization have been reported- mammary gland preferentially uses glucose. 74g/l of lactose in human milk (need more precursors, ie glucose, either as glucose or aas to prevent endogenous protein store use for glucose production-glycerol from fat stores can be used to but its use is limited). Ear based on variation of glucose utilization by the brain. No evidence of beneficial effects of extra fiber in reducing the risk of chd than that of nonpregnant women. No evidence to suggest that renal function and hydration status are different during lactation- ai based on median total water intakes.
