Because it is UNCORRECTED material, please consider the following text as a useful but insufficient proxy for the authoritative book pages.

B Acknowledgments The Panel on Micronutrients, the Subcommittee on Upper Refer- ence Levels of Nutrients, the Subcommittee on Interpretation and Uses of Dietary Reference Intakes, the Standing Committee on the Scientific Evaluation of Dietary Reference Intakes, and the Food and Nutrition Board (FNB) staff are grateful for the time and effort of the many contributors to the report and the workshops and meet- ings leading up to the report. Through openly sharing their consid- erable expertise and different outlooks, these individuals and orga- nizations brought clarity and focus to the challenging task of setting Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) for vitamins A and K, boron, chro- mium, copper, iodine, iron, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, va- nadium, and zinc. The list below mentions those individuals who worked closely with the members and staff, but many others also deserve heartfelt thanks. Those individuals made important contri- butions to the report by offering suggestions and opinions at the many professional meetings and workshops the members attended. The panel, subcommittee, and committee members, as well as the FNB staff thank the following named (as well as unnamed) individ- uals and organizations: 591

This volume is the newest release in the authoritative series issued by the National Academy of Sciences on dietary reference intakes (DRIs). This series provides recommended intakes, such as Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs), for use in planning nutritionally adequate diets for individuals based on age and gender. In addition, a new reference intake, the Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL), has also been established to assist an individual in knowing how much is "too much" of a nutrient.

Based on the Institute of Medicine's review of the scientific literature regarding dietary micronutrients, recommendations have been formulated regarding vitamins A and K, iron, iodine, chromium, copper, manganese, molybdenum, zinc, and other potentially beneficial trace elements such as boron to determine the roles, if any, they play in health. The book also:

  • Reviews selected components of food that may influence the bioavailability of these compounds.
  • Develops estimates of dietary intake of these compounds that are compatible with good nutrition throughout the life span and that may decrease risk of chronic disease where data indicate they play a role.
  • Determines Tolerable Upper Intake levels for each nutrient reviewed where adequate scientific data are available in specific population subgroups.
  • Identifies research needed to improve knowledge of the role of these micronutrients in human health.

This book will be important to professionals in nutrition research and education.
