This volume is the newest release in the authoritative series of quantitative estimates of nutrient intakes to be used for planning and assessing diets for healthy people. Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) is the newest framework for an expanded approach developed by U.S. and Canadian scientists.This book discusses in detail the role of vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium, and the carotenoids in human physiology and health. For each nutrient the committee presents what is known about how it functions in the human body, which factors may affect how it works, and how the nutrient may be related to chronic disease.Dietary Reference Intakes provides reference intakes, such as Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs), for use in planning nutritionally adequate diets for different groups based on age and gender, along with a new reference intake, the Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL), designed to assist an individual in knowing how much is "too much" of a nutrient. Booknews Providing information on the quantitative recommendations for nutrient intakes for healthy people of every age group, this volume covers vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium, and carotenoids. It presents what is known about how each nutrient functions in the human body, the methods for determining its requirements, factors affecting its performance, and any relationships to chronic disease of developmental abnormalities. Recommendations are based on an analysis of nutrient metabolism in humans and on data from studies of American and Canadian populations. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
