* [[Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs)]] {{PAGENAME}} — Nutrient reference values developed by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine that are specific on the basis of age, sex, and life stage and cover more than 40 nutrient substances. The DRIs provide reference values for vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that: 1) indicate daily intake amounts that meet the needs of most healthy people, and 2) set intake levels not to exceed to avoid harm. They include the values shown in the graphic (dsld.nlm.nih.gov/dsld/dri.jsp) and are described here. Scientific Report of the 2020 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee 4

* [[o Omega-3 fatty acids]] {{PAGENAME}} — The three main omega-3 fatty acids are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Alphalinolenic acid is required because it cannot be synthesized by humans and, therefore, is considered essential in the diet. Primary sources include soybean oil, canola oil, walnuts, and flaxseed. EPA and DHA are very long chain omega-3 fatty acids that are found in fish and shellfish.

* [[o Omega-6 fatty acids]] {{PAGENAME}} — There are four main omega-6 fatty acids: linoleic acid (LA), arachidonic acid (ARA), gamma linoleic acid (GLA), and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). Linoleic acid is required because it cannot be synthesized by humans and, therefore, is considered essential in the diet. Primary sources of LA are nuts and liquid vegetable oils, including soybean oil, corn oil, and safflower oil.

* [[the body. o Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)]] {{PAGENAME}} — Blood cholesterol often called “bad” cholesterol; carries cholesterol to arteries and tissues. A high LDL-C level in the blood leads to a buildup of cholesterol in arteries. Scientific Report of the 2020 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee 3

* [[Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges (AMDR)]] {{PAGENAME}} — Range of intake for a particular energy source that is associated with reduced risk of chronic disease while providing intakes of essential nutrients. If an individual’s intake is outside of the AMDR, there is a potential of increasing the risk of chronic diseases and/or insufficient intakes of essential nutrients.

* [[Adequate Intakes (AI)]] {{PAGENAME}} — A recommended average daily nutrient intake level based on observed or experimentally determined approximations or estimates of mean nutrient intake by a group (or groups) of apparently healthy people. This is used when the Recommended Dietary Allowance cannot be determined.
