Vitamins and Minerals
« on: December 14, 2008, 09:14:35 am »
A little too complex for me, but for those of you who are so inclined, below is a link to a PDF file that details minimum recommended vitamin and mineral intake.  It gets pretty in depth, there is quite a bit of bio-chem involved, but I thought someone out there might enjoy.

If one eats well, supplements are a waste of money.

Word. 

I don't think they're promoting supplements, in fact they discuss how there is an upper limit for safe intake of each vit/min, but then state that when gotten from food sources, there is no upper limit, as the body will simply not absorb anything it doesn't need.

I think they're just examining the function of those various nutrients, potential deficiencies in various populations, and which foods are good sources of the various nutrients.
