*OUR DAILY DIETARY CHECKLIST*
‘IU’ –> “international units”
.
.
*“VITAMINS” + “MINERALS“*
.
(requires ‘tolerable upper level intake’)
(‘UI’)
*my “1 a day” multi-vitamin gives me 133% ‘vitamin A’*
(2 gummies)
(1200 micro-grams)
(abbreviated ‘mcg’)
(1 / 1000000 gram)
(“one millionth”)
.
.
(‘1-a-day’ multi-vitamin gets me 294% ‘vitamin B6’)
(5mg)
(too much?)
(‘1-a-day’ multi-vitamin gets me 625% vitamin B12)
(15 mcg)
.
.
(‘1-a-day’ multi-vitamin gets me 83% ‘vitamin C’)
(2 gummies)
(75 mg)
.
.
(‘1-a-day’ multi-vitamin gets me 50% ‘vitamin D’)
(2 gummies)
(10 micro-grams)
(400 IU)
.
.
(‘1-a-day’ multi-vitamin gets me 90% ‘vitamin E’)
(13.5 mg)
.
(there is no ‘vitamin K’ in my multi-vitamin)

*MACRO-NUTRIENTS*
.
.
.
.
*the ‘generalized name’ for ([sweet/shortchain/soluble] carbo-hydrates)
(many of which are used in ‘food’)
.
.
(the following substances should NOT be consumed…)
.
.
*the dietary reference intake (DRI) is a system of ‘nutrition recommendations’ from the ‘institute of medicine’ (IOM) of the ‘national academies’ (of the ‘united states’)*
.
(it was introduced in 1997 in order to broaden the existing guidelines known as ‘Recommended Dietary Allowances’ (RDAs))
(the DRI values differ from those used in ‘nutrition labeling’ on food and dietary supplement products in the ‘U.S.’ and ‘canada’, which uses ‘Reference Daily Intakes’ (RDIs) and ‘Daily Values’ (%DV) which were based on outdated RDAs from 1968 but in the U.S. have been updated as of 2016)
(the DRI provides several different types of reference value:)
(‘Estimated Average Requirements’ (EAR), expected to satisfy the needs of 50% of the people in that age group based on a review of the scientific literature)
(‘Recommended Dietary Allowances’ (RDA), the daily dietary intake level of a nutrient considered sufficient by the ‘Food and Nutrition Board’ of the ‘Institute of Medicine’ to meet the requirements of 97.5% of healthy individuals in each life-stage and sex group)
(the definition implies that the intake level would cause a harmful ‘nutrient deficiency’ in just 2.5%)
(it is calculated based on the EAR and is usually approximately 20% higher than the EAR)
(‘Adequate Intake’ (AI), where no RDA has been established, but the amount established is somewhat less firmly believed to be adequate for everyone in the demographic group)
(‘tolerable upper intake levels’ (UL), to caution against excessive intake of nutrients (like ‘vitamin A’) that can be harmful in large amounts)
(this is the highest level of ‘daily nutrient consumption’ that is considered to be safe for, and cause no side effects in, 97.5% of healthy individuals in each life-stage and sex group)
(the definition implies that the intake level would cause a harmful nutrient excess in just 2.5%)
(the ‘European Food Safety Authority’ (EFSA) has also established ULs which do not always agree with ‘U.S. ULs’)
(for example, ‘zinc’ UL is 40 mg in U.S. and 25 mg in EFSA)
(‘Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges’ (AMDR), a range of intake specified as a percentage of ‘total energy intake’)
(used for sources of ‘energy’, such as ‘fats’ and ‘carbohydrates’)
(the DRI is used by both the USA and ‘canada’ and is intended for the general public and health professionals)
