Responding to the expansion of scientific knowledge about the roles of nutrients in human health, the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine, in partnership with Health Canada, has updated what used to be known as Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) and renamed their new approach to these guidelines Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSince 1998, the Institute of Medicine has issued eight exhaustive volumes of DRIs that offer quantitative estimates of nutrient intakes to be used for planning and assessing diets applicable to healthy individuals in the United States and Canada. Now, for the first time, all eight volumes are summarized in one easy-to-use reference volume, \u003ci\u003e Dietary Reference Intakes: The Essential Reference for Dietary Planning and Assessment\u003c\/i\u003e. Organized by nutrient for ready use, this popular reference volume reviews the function of each nutrient in the human body, food sources, usual dietary intakes, and effects of deficiencies and excessive intakes. For each nutrient of food component, information includes: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eEstimated average requirement and its standard deviation by age and gender.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRecommended dietary allowance, based on the estimated average requirement and deviation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdequate intake level, where a recommended dietary allowance cannot be based on an estimated average requirement.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTolerable upper intake levels above which risk of toxicity would increase.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAlong with dietary reference values for the intakes of nutrients by Americans and Canadians, this book presents recommendations for health maintenance and the reduction of chronic disease risk.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlso included is a \"Summary Table of Dietary Reference Intakes,\" an updated practical summary of the recommendations.
