Dietary intake of nutrients that meets the needs of almost of all healthy individuals is :
Answer: B
The intake that meets the needs of almost all healthy individuals is the RDA, the Recommended Dietary Allowance.
The RDA is set at the Estimated Average Requirement plus two standard deviations, so that it covers the needs of about 97-98 per cent of healthy people in a given age and sex group.
The EAR (Estimated Average Requirement) meets the needs of only half the group, so it is used for planning and assessing groups, not for individuals. 'RD' and 'ARD' are not standard nutrient reference values.
