Abstract: | In the Forum that follows, four authorities in nutrition and vitaminology present their divergent views on the use of antioxidant vitamin supplements. In this introduction, the basic dilemma between setting RDAs that insure an absence of deficiency symptoms and those that insure optimal health is discussed, as well as other factors that must be considered to reach a consensus on this controversial topic. |
