This book was released on 2000-08-27 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the newest release in the authoritative series of quantitative estimates of nutrient intakes to be used for planning and assessing diets for healthy people. Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) is the newest framework for an expanded approach developed by U.S. and Canadian scientists. This book discusses in detail the role of vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium, and the carotenoids in human physiology and health. For each nutrient the committee presents what is known about how it functions in the human body, which factors may affect how it works, and how the nutrient may be related to chronic disease. Dietary Reference Intakes provides reference intakes, such as Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs), for use in planning nutritionally adequate diets for different groups based on age and gender, along with a new reference intake, the Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL), designed to assist an individual in knowing how much is "too much" of a nutrient.

Download or read book Dietary Carotenoids written by and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2024-03-20 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years scientists have identified several biologically active compounds from plant and animal foods having beneficial health effects. Technically, they are not “nutrients,” despite having beneficial health properties. Instead, they are referred to as phytonutrients, nutraceuticals, and functional ingredients. Taking advantage of these compounds’ benefits, food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic manufacturers now include them in their commercial products. However, unlike vitamins and minerals, they do not have recommended levels of daily intake. Consumers are simply advised to include foods and supplements that are good sources of these phytonutrients as part of a healthy diet. In general, biologically active compounds are classified based on their solubility in water or lipids. The focus of this book is on a lipid-soluble group of compounds referred to as carotenoids. Written by international researchers, this book addresses topics such as the properties of various carotenoids, their dietary sources, mechanisms of action, and their role in the management and prevention of chronic human diseases. This book provides valuable information for a wide range of readers, including consumers, researchers, nutritionists, other health professionals, and regulatory agency personnel.
