‘CALORIES ADDED FROM FAT’ HAS
BEEN REMOVED. WHY?
Because dietary fat comes in many forms,
the Food and Drug and Administration
(FDA) removed the calories from the fat
section because placing the focus on just
fat calories — without defi ning the source
of the fat — provides a mixed message
that fat is not good for the body. Mono
and polyunsaturated fats and omega-3 and
omega-6 fatty acids are essential to keeping
the body healthy and functioning. Including
these forms of fat regularly is both good for

I AM VEGAN, WHAT IS THE BEST WAY
TO INCREASE MY CALCIUM INTAKE?
For vegans, it is essential to increase plant

Foods like seeds (sesame and poppy), lentils
and legumes, dark leafy greens, amaranth,
edamame, and fi gs are all great sources. By
regularly increasing your consumption of
these foods, you will increase your intake of
calcium. For growing teens, both girls and
boys, it is important to get the recommended
amount of 1300 mg of calcium to keep bones
healthy. For adults, the recommended amount
is 1000 mg per day.
