The following statement is often repeated, but it is not correct:
"Recommended Daily Allowances (RDAs) are the minimum needed to prevent
deficiency."
They have a generous safety for "optimal" nutrtion and are the best
estimate for almost all healthy people in the U.S.
The problem is applying them to people who are not healthy, or who have
different needs than those in the U.S.
