Recommended nutrient intakes: guidelines for the prevention of deficiency or prescription for total health
1986
Olson, J.A.
In considering recommended nutrient intakes, the preventive dose needed to remain free of clinical signs of deficiency is invariably lower than the curative dose. The preventive dose is also tightly linked to nutritional adaptation. Because of the vast number of individual considerations when determining a person's nutrient requirements, the recommended dietary intakes are not guarantees of undefined total health, but merely a guide to help prevent deficiency in the majority of individuals within the population.(lsp)
