Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) of Cu, 17-18% of the DRI of K, P, and Fe, and between 5 and 13% of the DRI of Zn, Mg, and Mn (Table 5.1). Potatoes are generally not rich in Ca, but can be a valuable source of trace elements, such as Se and I, if fertilized appropriately (Eurola et al., 1989 Poggi et al., 2000 Turakainen et al., 2004 Broadley et al., 2006). Moreover, since potato tubers have relatively high concentrations of organic compounds that stimulate the absorption of mineral micronutrients by humans, such as ascorbate (vitamin C), protein cysteine and various organic and amino acids (USDA, 2006), and low concentrations of compounds that limit their absorption, such as phytate (0.11-0.27% dry matter Frossard et al., 2000 Phillippy et al., 2004) and oxalate (0.03% dry matter Bushway et al., 1984), the bioavailability of mineral elements in potatoes is potentially high.

For Canada and the United States, the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) Institute of Medicine issued an updated report Dietary Reference Intakes for energy, carbohydrates, fiber, fat, protein, and amino acids or the Macronutrient Report establishing dietary fat goals at a wider range, from 20% up to 35% of calories, or from low to moderate amounts of fat for a healthy diet [10]. Although there were no specific values set for monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), the NAS report...

Vegetarian or not, how much protein should you eat The Dietary Reference Intake for proteins is that they should compose 10-30% of total caloric intake. For an average person on a 2000-Cal/day diet, that translates to about 50-160 g of protein per day. 

The recommended dietary allowances (RDA) or dietary reference intakes (DRl) of protein for human male and female adults are in the range of 45-65 g per day. In accordance with this, an intake of 100 g of fish would contribute 15-25% of the total daily protein requirement of healthy adults and 70% of that of children. A look at the dietary importance of the Mediterranean diet is convenient one of its characteristics is the high consumption of all kinds of fish, chiefly fatty fish. In many Mediterranean countries, fish intake averages over 50 g per day (edible flesh) thus, fish protein contributes over 10% of the total daily protein requirements steadily over the whole year in those countries. 

Vitamin E is the most potent fat-soluble antioxidant in human plasma. Although vitamin E was first discovered in 1922, its metabolic function remains an enigma. There are eight different molecular forms with vitamin E antioxidant activity, yet the body preferentially retains a-tocopherol. This preference for a-tocopherol has led the Eood and Nutrition Board in its 2000 Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) for vitamin E to recommend that only a-tocopherol, not the other forms, meets human requirements for vitamin E. Moreover, only a-tocopherol is recognized by the hepatic a-tocopherol transfer protein (a-lT P). This protein regulates plasma a-tocopherol concentrations and genetic abnormalities in the protein (or its absence) leads to vitamin E deficiency in humans.
