Dietary Reference Intakes
for Water, Potassium, Sodium, Chloride, and Sulfate
The Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) are quantitative estimates of nutrient
intakes to be used for planning and assessing diets for healthy people. This
new report, the sixth in a series of reports presenting dietary reference values
for the intakes of nutrients by Americans and Canadians, establishes
nutrient recommendations on water, potassium, and salt for health maintenance
and the reduction of chronic disease risk.
Dietary Reference Intakes for Water, Potassium, Sodium, Chloride, and Sulfate
discusses in detail the role of water, potassium, salt, chloride, and sulfate in
human physiology and health. The major findings in this book include the
establishment of Adequate Intakes for total water (drinking water, beverages,
and food), potassium, sodium, and chloride and the establishment of
Tolerable Upper Intake levels for sodium and chloride. The book makes
research recommendations for information needed to advance the understanding
of human requirements for water and electrolytes, as well as
adverse effects associated with the intake of excessive amounts of water,
sodium, chloride, potassium, and sulfate. This book will be an invaluable
reference for nutritionists, nutrition researchers, and food manufacturers.
