VNV Update (Special Issue, June 2002)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have you ever wondered whether... you are getting enough Zinc in your diet?
what the human body uses Thiamin for? which foods contain Folate? how
much Iron you need each day? where you get Calcium from? ...
Well, wonder no more! Most of the answers to your nutrient-related
questions are now available via an extensive new reference page on our
website.
"Complete Nutrient Summary for Vegetarians & Vegans"
You can find the page at www.vnv.org.au/Nutrients.htm.
On the page we:
- outline vitamins, minerals and other nutrients needed by the human body
- provide associated Australian Recommended Dietary Intakes (RDIs)
- list some foods that are good sources for each nutrient.
For key nutrients we provide more detailed information including:
- Functions
- Absorption
- Physiology & Metabolism
- Requirements & RDI
- Deficiency
We hope you find this new reference useful.
Kind regards,
David Ogilvie
