    Sorry, but they weren’t legitimate before anyway. RDA’s aren’t scientific, just observational. So we have zero idea what anyone actually needs.

    There’s no way you could say the average person should have a given intake of pretty much anything. Way too much variability in a population. At best you may be able to state a range.

      95 % is the range, since it goes from 0 % to 95 %. Only the top 5 % are not in that range.
