Hello,

I am attempting to find a reliable, credible and up-to-date source of
recommended nutritional intake.

Could someone suggest specifically where I could find such information?
So far my web searches show out of date data. It is my understanding
that the new index for recommended nutritional information is now
called Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs).

Thanks in advance,
Brent

see http://sankey.ws/dietref.html for links to several sources.
Definitions keep changing, and different authorities use
quite different definitions. Also they are usually based
on a national population - not the same either.

Treat them as advice, not hard and fast numbers, and always
remember that they only cover the 85% or so people who have
no identifiable medical condition.
