Nutrition Hotline is a column written by Reed Mangels, PhD, RD and it runs in each issue of Vegetarian Journal<\/em> published by The Vegetarian Resource Group. In a recent issue, Reed answered the question: \u201cOur family is transitioning to a low-fat (15% of calories) plant-based diet. Our 1-year-old daughter’s pediatrician did not think this was a good idea for a toddler and wanted us to add olive oil to her non-dairy milk. Should our daughter be on this low-fat diet? If not, are there alternatives to adding oil to her milk since we’d prefer to use whole foods?\u201d<\/p>\n
