Document Summary
Organic (c) carbohydrates macronutrients (need a lot of) Water highest requirement by weight of all nutrient. Essential nutrient: chemical that is required for optimal metabolism (or physiological function) but that cannot be synthesized or cannot be synthesized rapidly enough, to meet the needs of an animal or human for one or more physiological functions. Purified diet experiment: what is essential : experimental group: fed a purified diet lacking nutrient reproducible pathology. Deficiency disease ; clinical outcome or subclinical: control: fed same diet with a purified or known source of nutrient. Nutritional deficiency diseases (does not need to be lethal to define the nutrients essentiality) A point about estimating macronutrient and energy requirements: In a normal distribution: ear meets the needs of 50% healthy individuals, rda ear + 2(s. d. ) ; meets needs of 97. 5% of individuals: ul individuals run risk of toxicity over limit, ti ul/rda (gap between safe and harm)
