 More than ever, consumers 
and health experts everywhere are questioning the accuracy of 
the nutrition guidelines outlined by the USDA and other 
government agencies. In Real RDAs for Real People you'll 
discover how our common nutrition guidelines--the recommended 
daily allowances (or RDAs) and the new dietary reference intakes 
(or DRIs)--are inadequate, flawed, and ultimately 
misleading.

Everyone would agree that the physiologic 
make-ups of a 17-year-old male and a 57-year-old female are 
quite different, yet the recommendations for individuals such as 
these (and everyone, for that matter) are virtually the same. 
With wry wit and first-rate reporting, author Mike Fillon 
dissects this "one-size-fits-all" approach, as well as the many 
other problems that plague today's nutrition guidelines. More 
importantly, he provides realistic and accurate 
recommendations--depending on your sex, age, and other 
factors--that you can use to achieve excellent health.
