Adults living with children eat more fat than adults who live without: NewsTarget.com

The health choices made by adults who live with children often include diets with more fat than their counterparts, a recent study found.

The study, conducted by researchers at the University of Iowa and the University of Michigan Health System, found that "adults with children had significantly higher odds of frequently eating pizza, cheese, beef, salty snacks, cakes and cookies, ice cream, bacon/sausage/processed meats and peanuts."

The difference in saturated fat intake equated to eating an extra slice of pepperoni pizza every day. Overall, it was found that adults with children ate 4.7 grams of fat more daily than people who live without children.

The study also found that adults with children at home are more likely to eat cheese and drink milk than those without. Dairy is widely considered to be a food group with higher levels of fat.
