Abstract
In the U. S. the National Nutrition Monitoring
System operated by the U. S. Departments of
Agriculture, and Health and Human Services recently
issued their joint nutrition monitoring evaluation on the
nutritional status of the U. S. population. This unique
report stated that vitamin A and protein, along with
thiamin, riboflavin and niacin are "food components
warranting continued public health monitoring
consideration". Consumers are becoming aware of links
between certain diseases and nutrients such as
carotenoids and vitamin C, all of which are supplied by
fruits and vegetables.
