A diet was made up of foodstuffs produced within a radius of 10km from each location and calculated for a person with a body weight of 70kg (10700kJ). The size of the locations was chosen in such a way that all the foodstuffs could be bought within this area. The average daily intake was 4.69mgMn (range: 4.39--5.66mgMn). The Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Ernahrung (DGE) recommends a daily intake of 2--5mgMn. The intake with this diet was therefore optimal according to the DGE recommendation.
