ORIGIN This initiative began in June 1993, when the FNB organized a symposium and public hearing entitled "Should the Recommencleci Dietary Allowances Be Revised? " Shortly thereafter, to continue its collaboration with the larger nutrition community on the future of the Recommencleci Dietary Allowances (RDAs)

Consensus following a symposium for Canadian scientists cosponsored by the Canadian National Institute of Nutrition and Health Canada in April 1995 was that the Canadian government should pursue the extent to which involvement with the developing FNB process would be of benefit to both Canada and the United States in terms of leading toward harmonization. Based on extensive input and deliberations, the FNB initiated action to provide a framework for the development and possible international harmonization of nutrient-based recommendations that would serve, where warranted, for all of North America.

in the United States and Canadian Recommended Nutrient Intakes (Health Canada, 1990) , there has been a significant expansion and evolution of the research base in relation to a move toward cleaning functional endpoints that are relevant to the unclerstancling of nutrient requirements and food constituents and their relationship to a number of aspects of human health.

The Subcommittee on Upper Reference Levels is charged with reviewing possible risk assessment models for estimating levels of nutrients that may increase risk of toxicity or adverse effects and then assisting the panel to apply the model to each nutrient or food component reviewed. Similarly, a Subcommittee on the Uses and Interpretation of the DRIs is proposed to assist the panels and DRI Committee in the development of practical information and guidance using the many DRIs appropriately.

Aciclitionally, the neeci to establish upper levels of intake, which although not evaluated as having any benefit to the incliviclual, would also not result in increased risk, was an important component of the task. In April 1996, the DRI Committee of the FNB established the Panel on Calcium and Related Nutrients and the Subcommittee on Upper Reference Levels.

· Evaluate comparable stanciarcis from other countries and multinational groups for whom recommencleci nutrient ranges have been developed and consider the applicability of the recommended nutrient range for use in North America. · Develop dietary reference intake values for calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, vitamin D, and fluoride, where adequate ciata are available, for each stage of the lifespan including people older than 50 years.
