Abstract
Current knowledge suggests that an evolution in the concept of nutriti onal requirement may be underway. Using such well-known vitamins as vi tamin A and the carotenoids and vitamins C ard E as examples, it is sh own that the restrictive notion of requirement to prevent nutritional deficiency needs to be enlarged to include the requirements to prevent chronic or degenerative pathologies. This in turn should lead to a re -examination of the recommended daily intake.
