Recently, Miriah participated in a study that was designed to determine how much iron is necessary to prevent iron deficiency. Within a few weeks of consuming an iron-free diet, Miriah's red blood cells began to show signs that they lacked iron, and she began to complain about feeling tired. At that point, the researched added some iron to Miriah's food, so her daily intake of the mineral would be 1 mg. After 1 week, the researchers checked the iron content of Miriah's blood, and although it was higher than the earlier value, she still complained about feeling tired. In the weeks that followed, the scientists continued to increase Miriah's iron intake by 1 mg/week and check her for signs and symptoms of iron deficiency. After a week of taking 8 mg of iron/day, she reported feeling like "her old self" and having plenty of energy. Based on this information, the researchers concluded that Miriah's - UL for iron was 6 mg, plus 2 mg as a margin of safety. - RDA for iron was 6mg. - body required 8 mg iron/day. - minimum Daily Value was 6 to 8 mg iron/day.

body required 8 mg iron/day.

Jeremy would like to know the amount of vitamin C that is recommended for his life/stage group. He can obtain this information by - checking the RDAtable for vitamin C. - reading NutritionFacts panels to determine the %DV for vitamin C. - checking a Food List for vitamin C intake recommendations. - reading the ingredients' list on a food label.

checking the RDAtable for vitamin C.

Josh was a participant in a clinical study to determine how much thiamin cures beriberi, the vitamin's deficiency disease. During the study, Josh consumed only a formula diet that was nutritionally complete, except it did not contain thiamin. Within a few weeks, Josh developed beriberi. At that point, researchers gave 0.1 mg thiamin to Josh each day for a week, but his signs and symptoms of beriberi remained. In the weeks that followed, the scientists continued to increase Josh's intake of the vitamin by 0.1 mg/week. After a week of taking 0.8 mg of thiamin/day, Josh reported feeling much better and the researchers noted that Josh did not have any signs or symptoms of beriberi. Based on this information, the researchers concluded that Josh's - RDA for thiaminwas 0.6 mg/day. - requirement for thiamin was approximately 0.6 mg/day. - AMDR for thiamin was between 0.1 and 0.8 mg/day. - requirement for thiamin was at least 0.8 mg/day.

requirement for thiamin was at least 0.8 mg/day.

Ramon was a participant in a clinical study to determine how much vitamin D is required by healthy humans. During the study, Ramon consumed only a formula diet that was nutritionally complete, except it did not contain vitamin D. Within a few weeks, he developed signs and symptoms of vitamin D deficiency. At that point, researchers gave 5 mcg vitamin D to Ramon each day for a week, but his signs and symptoms of the deficiency remained. The next week, the scientists added 5 mcg vitamin D to his diet, so that his formula contained 10 mcg of the vitamin. By the end of that week, Ramon reported feeling much better. Based on this information, the researchers concluded that Ramon's - daily value for vitamin D was about 100 mcg. - AI for vitamin Dwas 50 mcg, which was 5 times the amount that cured his deficiency of thevitamin. - AMDR for vitamin Dis between 5 and 10 mcg. - requirement forvitamin D is 10 mcg.

requirement forvitamin D is 10 mcg.

A team of scientists determines that the average healthy woman who is between 19 and 30 years of age needs 40 mg of a vitamin to prevent developing the vitamin's deficiency disorder. Based on this information, the - woman will developthe vitamin's toxicity disorder when she consumes between 40 and 50 mg of thevitamin on a daily basis for about 10 weeks. - scientists candetermine the RDA for the vitamin. - woman can meet herAMDR for the vitamin by consuming at least 40 mg/day. - UL for the vitaminwill be based on the EER value.

scientists candetermine the RDA for the vitamin.

This amount of the beverage - substitutes for 3 eating fresh oranges. - provides a nutrient-dense source of a watery fluid. - is nutritionally equivalent to 3 cups of orange juice. - should be considered a source of empty calories.
