Lipid intakes of Maasai women and children
The traditional Maasai diet of meat, milk and blood is generally thought to be high in fat. Because of this much of the research carried out on the Maasai has been related to serum lipid levels. Few of these studies, however, have quantified dietary fat intake. This paper describes the Maasai diet and discusses the nutritional value of milk and dietary lipid intakes of 127 women and 411 children over a one year period. Lipid intakes ranged by age…
Potential deficiencies of a pastoral diet
The staple diet of the Maasai is cow's milk and maizemeal, neither of which are rich in iron or ascorbic acid. In view of this, the seasonal variation in food iron, and ascorbic acid intakes of Maasai women and children was determined from bi‐monthly 24‐hour recalls, validated against 3‐day weighed intakes, over a one‐year period. Subjects were screened for signs of iron and ascorbic acid deficiencies. Iron intakes from food were low but water wa…
