Adverse effects In the toxicological sense, clefineci symptoms of poor or undesirable health resulting from administration of a toxin or excess amounts of a nutrient. AI Acloquate Intake; a recommencleci intake value based on observed or experimentally determined approximations or estimates of nutrient intake by a group (or groups)

The term refers to food and nutrient availability for a population that is calculated from national or regional statistics by the inventory-style method. Usually taken into account are the sum of food remaining from the previous year, food imports, and agricultural production; from this sum is subtracted the sum of food remaining at the end of the year, food exports, food waste, and food used for nonfood purposes.
