Furthermore, more than half aren’t getting enough magnesium, about 40% aren’t getting enough vitamin A, and nearly one-third aren’t getting desirable intakes of vitamin C from the foods and beverages in their diets.
The figures are taken from a new report by the Agricultural Research Service’s Food Surveys Research Group in Beltsville, Maryland. The Agricultural Research Service is the US Department of Agriculture’s chief scientific research agency.
The report presents results from survey interviews of nearly 9,000 individuals nationwide on their intake of foods and beverages, but not supplements. Nutrient intakes were calculated using data on the nutrient content of foods produced by the group and another ARS research unit, the Nutrient Data Laboratory, both with the ARS Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center.
