How should the recommended dietary allowances be revised: a concept paper from the food and nutrition board

The Food and Nutrition Board (FNB) promotes a new approach to the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) to combine the dietary requisitions for the prevention of chronic diseases with the nutrient specific concepts of the previous RDAs. It proposes to bend future RDAs to suit multiple purposes. It also plans to hold public meetings and symposia to increase community participation in the nutrition program.
