Hi Thora, A good friend of mine had a book about this very subject. I don't know what it was titled or who the author was but I jotted down a number of things in the amounts he suggests we need to be healthy as opposed to the RDA which is what we need to keep from being sick. I just ran across the list last week as I was straightening up (no small chore). When I get home I will pull it out and try and get it posted in a day or so.
