• Dietary Reference Intakes: The Essential Guide to Nutrient Requirements

Dietary Reference Intakes: The Essential Guide to Nutrient Requirements is the summary of the Dietary Reference Intakes series. It has been developed by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies in partnership with Health Canada. This 541 pages book offers the most accurate, practical, up-to-date information for designing nutrition education programs, assessing and planning diets for individuals and groups, establishing standards for food assistance programs and nutrition labeling, the development of new products by the industry and evaluating the adequacy of food supplies in meeting national nutritional needs.

This summary report is targeted to all stakeholders in the nutrition community, in both languages to replace Nutrition Recommendations; Report of the Scientific Review Committee (Recommandations sur la nutrition; Rapport du Comité de révision scientifique) published in 1990 in Canada and the 1989 10^th edition of the Recommended Dietary Allowances summary in United States.

The English summary report, Dietary Reference Intakes: The Essential Guide to Nutrient Requirements, can be ordered on the National Academies Press Website http://www.nap.edu/catalog/11537.html.

The French version of the summary should be available early in spring 2007.
