Researchers at the University of Iowa and the University of Michigan Health System analyzed data from a national nutrition survey of 6,600 adults aged 17 to 65 living with and without children under the age of 17. Nutritionists asked detailed questions about what the adults and the rest of their family had eaten in the past 24 hours, and how often they ate high-fat foods.
Compared to adults living without children, those with kids in the home ate 4.9 grams more of fat daily, including 1.7 grams of saturated fat, which is particularly linked to heart disease. Adults with kids in the house also were more likely to eat foods such as cheese, ice cream, beef, pizza and salty snacks.
