The ABC's of the RDA

By Melissa Hendricks


You can learn more about the Johns Hopkins Center for Human Nutrition at www.jhsph.edu/Research/Centers/Nutrition/.

The site for the Institute of Medicine's Food and Nutrition Board, the group that determines the RDA (and the new EAR) is www2.nas.edu/fnb/. It features answers to frequently asked questions about the RDA and recent reports such as the latest recommendations on daily calcium intake.

To find links to a hodgepodge of nutritional resources including information on obesity, diet, McDonald's nutrition, and nutrition for kids, visit www.orst.edu/food-resource/nutri.html.

Finally, lest we forget, nutrition isn't just about vitamins and minerals, it's about food. Yummy food, we hope. I found oodles of recipes on the Web, for everything from alligator to zucchini. One site vouches that its recipes contain less than 20 percent fat: www.mymenus.com/reco4.html. Bon appetit.
