Executive Summary
COPPER RDA BASED ON OPTIMAL HEALTH WOULD REPRESENT "CONCEPTUAL EVOLUTION" of the Recommended Dietary Allowance process, White House Office of Science & Technology Senior Policy Analyst Catherine Woteki, PhD, told a workshop on copper during the Sixth Conference on Federally Supported Nutrition Research Units and Centers held at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md. Copper currently has no RDA; instead, the National Academy of Science's Food Nutrition Board has established a safe and adequate intake between 1.5 and 3 mg daily.
