      abstract = {"Calcium and Vitamin D are essential nutrients for the  human body. Establishing the levels of these nutrients that  are needed by the North American population is based on the  understanding of the health outcomes that calcium and  vitamin D affect. It is also important to establish how  much of each nutrient may be "too much." Dietary Reference  Intakes for Calcium and Vitamin D provides reference intake  values for these two nutrients. The report updates the DRI  values defined in Dietary Reference Intakes for Calcium,  Phosphorous, Magnesium, Vitamin D, and Fluoride, the 1997  study from the Institute of Medicine. This 2011 book  provides background information on the biological functions  of each nutrient, reviews health outcomes that are  associated with the intake of calcium and vitamin D, and  specifies Estimated Average Requirements and Recommended  Dietary Allowances for both. It also identifies Tolerable  Upper Intake Levels, which are levels above wish the risk  for harm may increase. The book includes an overview of  current dietary intake in the U.S. and Canada, and  discusses implications of the study. A final chapter  provides research recommendations. The DRIs established in  this book incorporate current scientific evidence about the  roles of Vitamin D and calcium in human health and will  serve as a valuable guide for a range of stakeholders  including dietitians and other health professionals, those  who set national nutrition policy, researchers, the food  industry, and private and public health organizations and  partnerships."
