Document Summary
What is an essential nutrient: because some nutrients your body cannot produce on its own, essential nutrient: a nutrient your body needs but can"t not synthesize on its own. Hence it must be part of your daily diet. What do we mean by nutritional adequacy: no, maximizing nutrient intake would have been considered the best choice before nutritionists did some research. Instead, they found that by maximizing intake could actually lead to toxicity and evolve into chronic diseases. Do all people have the same need for a nutrient: no all people have different dietary needs. Depending on the diet that the diet that the person is currently eating. How do they relate individual needs: they are designed to meet the needs of about 97% of the healthy population. How do dri"s address this: yes, there should be an upper limit, as i stated earlier or it could lead to a nutrient toxicity instead of deficiency.
