JANE KELLEY was thinking about Ultimate Jane-ism! and keyed into 
cyberspace:
JK>MP>has written much since she found a nutritional treatment for
JK>MP>JK>her daughters' Down Syndrome.
JK>MP>Since I do not sell it, like she does, I have no need to write
JK>MP>that tripe.
JK>She doesn't sell all of the preparations I read about from the parent
JK>group which produces the list server I had at one time.
JK>So that one won't hold much water at all.
Does she sell some? That is water deep enough to drown in. Did she 
license out? That's enough for a good soaking.
JK>I got a private note from an eminent person who lurks here telling me
JK>that he will not get into a personal discussion with you (or anyone
JK>else) where he will get into the likes of your notes to me.  It goes
JK>into detail about dietary barriers invloved in the prevention and
JK>treatment of obesity in Down Syndrome.  The reference is:
Hmmm, a mystery person. Probably you met in in Roswell NM when you went 
to nursing school.
Come out, come out, wherever you are. Any connection with eastern 
Virginia?
JK>J Amer Diet Assoc 1996 DEC;96(12) : 1262-1267
JK>"Design Dietary intake was determined from parent-reported 3-day diet
JK>records for children with  Down Syndrome and control subjects.
JK>Energy intake was compared with energy expenditure measured by the
JK>doubly labled mater method.  Body composition was determined by
JK>deuterium dilution, bioelectrical impedance analysis, and skinfold
JK>thickness measurements.
JK>Subjects/setting Ten prepubescent children with Down syndrome and 10
JK>control subjects were recruited from the hospital community.  The
JK>study was conducted in the  Clinical Research Center of the
JK>University of Chicago Medical Center.
JK>Main outcome measures nutrient intakes were compared with the
JK>Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) to estimate risk for nutrient
JK>deficiency.  Fat-free mass values determined by bioelectrical
JK>impedance analysis and measurement of skinfold thicknesses were
JK>compared with values determined using the deuterium dilution method.
JK>Statistical analysis performed Unpaired t tests were used for
JK>comparisons between subject groups and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test
JK>was used for comparison of nutrient intakes with the RDAs.
JK>Results The subjects with Down syndrome were significantly shorter
JK>(P<.01) than control subjects; however, body composition did not
JK>differ between the groups.  Reported energy intake was lower in
JK>subjects with Down syndrome.  In addition, several micronutrients
JK>were consumed, especially among nonobese subjects with Down syndrome,
JK>at less than 80% of the RDA.
JK>Applications  To avoid lowering already inadequate intakes of several
JK>vitamins and minerals, we suggest that treatment of obesity in
JK>children with Down syndrome combine a balanced diet without energy
JK>restriction, vitamin and mineral supplementation, and increased
JK>physical activity. 
JK>The person who sent this to me doesn't care to get involved with
JK>those whose only goal is to be right.  I consider that a compliment.
My goal is to prevent wrong. 
BTW, he said nothing about preventing Down Syndrome. Something that you 
alluded to.
