TL;DR: It is hypothesized that there is an association between the severity of IBS symptoms and the intake of specific food groups and specific nutrients, and a significant inverse association between intake of vitamin B₆ and severity ofIBS symptoms might have clinical implications.

TL;DR: Energy and especially protein intakes are too high, while fat and fibre intake are too low in Belgian infants and toddlers.
Abstract: Early feeding habits may have a significant impact on later body composition and health. The knowledge on dietary habits is, however, still limited for older infants and toddlers. Therefore, we aimed to: (1) assess the average
daily energy and macronutrient intakes and to identify their major foods sources; (2) compare it to the nationally and internationally recommended dietary intake (RDI).
A food survey (January–February 2012) was conducted in a cohort of healthy infants and toddlers, stratified for age, gender, region, occupation and socio-economic status of the mother and week and weekend days. The national dietary software programme Nubel® was used to analyse nutritional values. We included 92 (19.8 %) 6-to 12-month-olds, 200 (43.0 %) 13- to 24-month-olds and 173 (37.2 %) 25- to 36-month-olds in the analysis. Median energy intake was 15–20 % above the RDI of 79–82 kcal/kg/day. Nearly, all children had a protein intake above the RDI, and for 156 (33.5 %), this was above the upper tolerable limit of 15 % of total energy intake. The median fat intake increased with increasing age and was slightly below the RDI. Mean water and carbohydrate intake were in accordance with the RDI. Fibre intake was below the RDI of 15 g/d for 93.1 % of the oldest and 83.5 % of the middle age group (p < 0.01). Milk is the most important source for energy en macronutrients until the age of 2 years. Energy and especially protein intakes are too high, while fat and fibre intakes are too low in Belgian infants and toddlers.

TL;DR: Clinicians can apply the SECS versus RUDE rule: treatments that are Safe, Easy, Cheap, and Sensible (SECS) require less evidence than those that are Risky, Unrealistic, Difficult, or Expensive (RUDE).
Abstract: Evidence for dietary/nutritional treatments of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) varies widely, from double-blind, placebo-controlled trials to anecdotal. In guiding patients, clinicians can apply the SECS versus RUDE rule: treatments that are Safe, Easy, Cheap, and Sensible (SECS) require less evidence than those that are Risky, Unrealistic, Difficult, or Expensive (RUDE). Two nutritional treatments appear worth general consideration: Recommended Daily Allowance/Reference Daily Intake multivitamin/mineral supplements as a pediatric health intervention not specific to ADHD and essential fatty acids, especially a mix of eicosapentaenoic acid, docosahexaenoic acid, and γ-linolenic acid as an ADHD-specific intervention. Controlled studies support the elimination of artificial food dyes to reduce ADHD symptoms, but this treatment may be more applicable to the general pediatric population than to children with diagnosed ADHD. Mineral supplementation is indicated for those with documented deficiencies but is not supported for others with ADHD. Carnitine may have a role for inattention, but the evidence is limited. Dimethylaminoethanol probably has a small effect. Herbs, although "natural," are actually crude drugs, which along with homeopathic treatments have little evidence of efficacy. Consequences of delayed proven treatments need consideration in the risk-benefit assessment of dietary/nutritional treatments.

TL;DR: Data on nutrient intakes are a crucial piece of information toward the determination of total dietary intake and together with anthropometric and laboratory data can be used to assess nutritional status and elucidate the relationship between nutrition and health.
Abstract: OBJECTIVES
This report presents national estimates of dietary intakes of macronutrients, micronutrients, and other dietary constituents for persons 2 months and older, by sociodemographic variables.
METHODS
The third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) (1988-94), the source of these data, was designed to provide information on the health and nutritional status of the civilian noninstitutionalized U.S. population. The analytic sample for these analyses included 29,105 participants with complete and reliable dietary recalls.
RESULTS
This report provides mean, median, and standard error of the mean dietary intake data for the U.S. population, 1988-94. Dietary intake estimates were derived from NHANES III 24-hour recall data. Foods reported during the survey were coded using the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Survey Nutrient Database (SNDB) and the University of Minnesota Nutrition Coordinating Center (NCC) data. Food composition values for macronutrients, vitamins, minerals, and other food components are based on SNDB and NCC data.
CONCLUSIONS
Data on nutrient intakes are a crucial piece of information toward the determination of total dietary intake. Together with anthropometric and laboratory data, information on nutrient intake can be used to assess nutritional status and elucidate the relationship between nutrition and health.

TL;DR: It is proposed that for vitamin A and vitamin B12 alone among the known micronutrients a luxus (excessive) intake habitually exists and evidence for this is presented by a comparison of habitual intake with Recommended Dietary Allowance and of total body content in relation to requirements.
