Dietary Reference Intakes for Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Selenium and Carotenoids

Panel on Dietary Antioxidants and Related Compounds,Subcommittee on Upper Reference Levels of Nutrients,Subcommittee on Interpretation and Uses of DRIs,Standing Committee on the Scientific Evaluation of Dietary Reference Intakes,Food and Nutrition Board

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.
