Rita said:I have been wondering how those producing the nutrition
guidelines determine certain recommendations, such as
the grams of fiber one should strive for each day.
Can this vary by age and weight and other factors as well?
Eating say, x number of servings of vegetables each day
is recommended, but how large need those servings be?
Is there individual variation on this?Just how are these nutrition guidelines determined?
Are they tested and with what population? Or are they
simply a "best guess"? I'd really like to have some
information on exactly what the process is of
determining these guidelines before they are released
to the public?
