The Influence of Dietary Fat on Thiamine Loss from the Body

Three Figures

L. Emmett Holt, Jr. and Selma E. Snyderman

Department of Pediatrics, New York University College of Medicine, New York

Studies carried out in human infants revealed that the substitution of carbohydrate for fat in the diet resulted in a diminished output of thiamine in the urine. This is interpreted as indicating an increased demand for thiamine in metabolic reactions.

The increased thiamine intake required by such a dietary shift has been measured.
