Process and development of dietary reference intakes: basis, need, and application of recommended dietary allowances

Article Abstract:

The National Academy of Sciences and its Food and Nutrition Board have expanded the plan used to determine dietary allowances. They wanted to include possible relationships in the definition of adequacy to chronic diseases or conditions difficult to blame on high or low consumption of one nutrient, yet linked to diet. The first set of dietary recommended intakes was to be completed by late 1997 with input from Canadian scientists.
