Apr. 21st, 2005 03:11 pmThe recent Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) established an
Adequate Intake (AI) for α-LNA during pregnancy of 1.4 g/d
and an Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range
(AMDR) of 0.6–1.2% of energy for (n-3) PUFA with up to
10% of the AMDR consumed as eicosapentaenoic acid [EPA,
20:5(n-3)] and/or DHA (31). Before the DRI recommendations,
a working group from the International Society for the
Study of Fatty Acids and Lipids (ISSFAL) recommended intakes
of 1.0% of energy for α-LNA and 0.3% for EPA + DHA
[1.3% for total (n-3) PUFA] for adults and further recommended
a minimum intake of 300 mg/d of DHA for pregnant
and lactating women (32).
Anybody know why I started this...?
