A Report to Iowa School Girl: LOOK What a GOOD Diet Can Do!

This is a report about girls your own age - busy girls who missed out on some meals, who nibbled between times and had food habits much like yours. This is the story of what happened when they stepped up their nutrition

Is Your School Child Well Fed?

How well fed are our school children? That question might well be raised by results from research conducted with the cooperation of a state-wide sample of Iowa school children

Physically Fit For What?

Physical fitness permits a person to enjoy life to the fullest. But does this mean 100 situps while your automatic washer and drier puts the finishing touches on this week\u27s laundry? Here is a timely appraisal of calories, calisthenics and energy-saving household equipment

Scientific opinion on dietary reference values for thiamin

Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies (NDA) derived dietary reference values (DRVs) for thiamin (vitamin B1). The Panel considers that data from depletion\u2013repletion studies in adults on the amount of dietary thiamin intake associated with the erythrocyte transketolase activity coefficient (\u3b1ETK) < 1.15, generally considered to reflect an adequate thiamin status, or with the restoration of normal (baseline) erythrocyte transketolase activity, without a sharp increase in urinary thiamin excretion, can be used to estimate thiamin requirement. In the absence of new scientific evidence, the Panel endorses the average requirement (AR) of 0.072 mg/MJ (0.3 mg/1,000 kcal) for all adults proposed by the Scientific Committee for Food (SCF) in 1993 on the basis of one depletion\u2013repletion study, in which both \u3b1ETK and urinary thiamin excretion were measured. Results from other depletion\u2013repletion studies are in agreement with this value. The Panel agrees on the coefficient of variation of 20% used by the SCF to cover uncertainties related to distribution of thiamin requirements in the general population, and endorses the population reference intake (PRI) of 0.1 mg/MJ (0.4 mg/1,000 kcal) set by the SCF for all adults. The same AR and PRI as for adults, expressed in mg/MJ, are proposed for infants aged 7\u201311 months, children aged 1 to < 18 years, and during pregnancy and lactation, under the assumption that the relationship between thiamin requirement and energy requirement is the same in all population groups
