USA makes new dietary recommendations

Abstract

The Food and Nutrition Board of the National Research Council has recently revised and extended its list of recommended dietary allowances, RDA, for individuals in the US, in view of new nutritional knowledge and the uses to which these RDA are put. In addition to being guides to human needs for nutrients, the RDA have become guides for regulatory agencies that are responsible for nutrition labelling, for regulations designed to ensure nutritional quality of foods and for development of new food products.
