Hi Readers,

Are any of you aware of any good sources (e- or conventional) of general information on human dietary needs (basic groups like carbos, proteins, fats, minerals). I'm not looking for a definitive guide, but more at various perspectives on the particular levels of need for these groups and their subgroups (like starch) and members (like an individual amino).

I'm also seeking to relate these entities to food sources.

And, I'm seeking to answer the same questions for animal feed for various species.

Thanks for any insight.

A book I have found interesting on diet is "One Circle" by David Duhan, which is about how to grow a nearly-complete vegan diet on the smallest amount of land. It was written a number of years ago so some nutritional information may have changed.

There's also the USDA nutrient database, which may be helpful for planning diet: http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/

I don't think either of these are quite what you're looking for, but they may be useful.

Brenda and Ludi, thanks for these leads. I've come across a few leads including the following that is somewhat interesting. http://fnic.nal.usda.gov/nal_display/index.php?info_center=4&tax_level=3&tax_subject=256&topic_id=1342&level3_id=5140

Thanks Diane and Muzhik,

I'll check into these sources. I've gathered a few more, also, that I'll share when I have a little more time.

Best, Rickster

I have never sensed the force being as strong as in this tiny ad:
