Talk:Dietary Reference Value

To do

1. Illustration of the eat well plate (e.g. http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/Goodfood/Pages/eatwell-plate.aspx ). Maybe someone who knows about licensing can help?

2. The protein etc DRVs from either www.food.gov.uk/multimedia/pdfs/nutguideuk.pdf or the original document!

3. References need sorting Lionfish0 (talk) 22:47, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Energy?

The energy values are in the FSA document referenced, but they might not be in the original DRV book which I don't have access to.

General

This page needs to be written/corrected/filled by someone with access to the DRV book.

Grams vs grammes

to the anonymous editor: Hope you don't mind, but I swapped gramme back to gram, as gramme seems a bit archaic to me? I've not seen it spelt like that in modern usage. If you think I'm wrong, please change it back :) Hope you don't mind. Thanks for taking the time to work on and improve the article! Lionfish0 (talk) 08:44, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

I have a copy of the original DRV book

I recently bought "COMA 41 'Dietary Reference Values for Food Energy and Nutrients for the United Kingdom' (1991)". (This is the document that there are two references to above. It is available via TSO and Amazon UK). I don't feel comfortable about correcting this page without discussion here. But I am can answer questions about COMA 41 to help build some sort of consensus about what changes need to be made to this page. Barry Pearson 08:35, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

My analysis so far is that any organisation that assumes that this identified recommended levels of carbohydrates, or that it should be used for carbohydrate guidelines for individual people, is mis-understanding and mis-using this book. (For example, Table 1.2 doesn't identify a minimum level of Carbohydrate, other than to get enough dietary fibre. It appears to base its Carbohydrate reference on what people ate on average, not on some scientific analysis of what people should eat). Barry Pearson 08:35, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

I have also looked at "SACN 'Dietary Reference Values for Energy' (2011)", which is an update of COMA 41. This clearly states "It is important to note that DRVs should be used to assess the energy requirements for large groups of people and populations, but should not be applied to individuals due to the large variation in physical activity and energy expenditure observed between people". Yet it appears that this is precisely what PHE is doing with the Eatwell Guide. (See Table 2, which also refers, apparently invalidly, to COMA 41). Barry Pearson 08:35, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

DRV types changed?

The latest DRV of EFSA consists of Population Reference Intake (PRI), Average Requirement (AR), Adequate Intake (AI), Reference Intake range (RI), contrary to RNI, EAR, LRNI mentioned in this article. Thus it seems like everything has to be updated following http://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/topics/topic/dietary-reference-values-and-dietary-guidelines .

Nutrient Reference Value NRV

The NRV is the Nutrient Reference Value. It was created by the European Union in 2014 to indicate how much vitamins and minerals you are getting in a product.

It replaced the previous system called Recommended Daily Allowance RDA.

The %NRV tells you how much percent of your daily need on average the product will supply for each vitamin.
