Nutrition Pediatric Workshop concerned with the energy and protein requirements in infants and children and their implications for Nestl's involvement in infant formula. The 15 papers begin with discussions of long-term consequences of early feeding on later obesity risk and issues of body composition and growth. A section on high intakes of protein and amino acids includes papers on intestinal amino acid metabolism in neonates, amino acid requirements of infants and children, and effects of high protein intakes. Other papers present discussion of food intake regulation of dietary components, the optimal age for introduction of complementary foods, recent issues in energy-protein malnutrition in children, protein quality and quantity in cows' milk based formula for healthy term infants, and recombinant milk proteins.
