Essential fatty acid requirements in infancy

MA Crawford, AG Hassam and JP Rivers

The view expressed by Cuthbertson that essential fatty acid needs of human infants have been overestimated is contested. In our view Cuthbertson's assessment of essential fatty acid requirements of infants is too low because 1) consideration of the omega3 fatty acids is omitted; 2) the biological value of long-chain essential fatty acids is wrongly assessed; and 3) the significance of variations in composition of random human milk samples is misunderstood.
