What is the DRI and what are the 4 lists of values for measuring the nutrient intakes of health people in the US and Canada?
|
DRI = Dietary Reference Intake
1. EAR - Estimated Average Requirements 2. RED - Reccomended Daily Allowances 3. AI - Adequate Intake 4. UL - Tolerable Upper Intake Levels |
|
What is the term for the values given on packaged goods?
|
DV - Daily Values
|
|
Most people only need to focus on 2 kinds of DRI values, what are they?
|
1. Those that set nutrient goals (RDA, AI)
2. Those that define upper limit of safety (UL) |
|
What set of values form the bedrock of DRI Intakes?
|
RDA - reccomended daily allowances
|
|
What happnes when the DRI committee finds insufficient evidence to generate an RDA?
|
They establish an AI (Adequate Intake) instead
|
|
What are 4 goals of the DRI Committee?
|
1. Setting Recommended Intake Values (RDI and AI)
2. Facilitating Nutrition Resarch Requirements (EAR) 3. Establishing Safety Guidelines (UL) 4. Preventing Chronic Disease (AMDR) |
|
What is EAR and what are 2 things it does?
|
EAR = Estimated Average Requirements
1. Establishes nutrient requriements for given life stages and gender groups 2. estmates nutrient intakes of populations and makes reccomendations. |
|
What is EER?
|
(EER) = Estimated Energy Requirement
average dietary energy intake predicted to maintain energy balance in a health adult of a certain age, gener, weight, height, and level of phusical activity consistient w/ good health. |
|
Can Daily Values (DV) serve as nutrient intake goasl for individuals?
|
No - DV is only ideal for allowing comparisons among foods.
|
|
What establishes nutrient requirements for given life stages and gender groups that researchers and nutrition policymakers use in their work?
|
Estimated Average Requirements (EAR)
|
|
What is a good value for consumers who take foods to which vitmains or minerals have been added (to follow)?
|
UL = Tolerable Upper Intake Limit
|
|
T or F, some nutrients do not have UL limits.
|
True - but does not mean it's safe to consume lots and lots of them.
|
|
What is the highest average daily nutrient intake level that is likely gto pose no risk of toxicity to healthy individuals of a paericular life stage and gener group?
|
UL - Tolerable Upper Intake Level
|
|
What is the term for the healthy ranges for Fat, Carbs, Protein?
|
AMDR = Acceptable Macronutrient Distribuion Ranges
|
|
Whate are the acceptable AMDR values as expressed in percentages of tatal daily calorie intake?
|
45-65% from carbs
20-35% from fat 10-35% from Protein |
