Infant Recommendations
For most of the macronutrients included in this new report, AIs rather than RDAs were set for infants to age 1 year based on the average intake of the macronutrient consumed from human milk (for 0 through 12 months of age) with complementary foods (for 7 through 12 months of age). EARs and RDAs, however, were set for protein for infants 7 through 12 months of age. EERs were established for both young and older infants. Neither an AI nor RDA was set for fiber during infancy because fiber is not
What's on the Horizon
As indicated earlier, five reports have now been released on DRIs, thus completing the initial review of vitamins, protein, energy nutrients and almost all elements (the electrolytes—sodium, chloride, potassium, sulfate and water are currently under review). Future studies will evaluate the role of alcohol in health and disease and the role of other components in food and their roles in health and disease. As with other aspects of nutrition, it soon will be time to review the data on some of
