| Abstract | The first edition of Recommended Dietary Allowances, published in 1943 with the objective of "providing standards to serve as a goal for good nutrition," defined "in accordance with newer information the recommended daily allowances for the various dietary essentials for people of different ages" (FNB, 1943). A major objective of the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Research Council continues to be to encourage the development of food use practices by the population of the United States that will allow for maximum dividends in the maintenance and promotion of health (FNB, 1968). Health is defined, according to the World Health Organization, as "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity" (Anon., 1970). |
