TL;DR: It is suggested from the data presented that a supplemental casein hydrolysate supplies adequate essential amino acids and nitrogen to support normal growth in infants when protein and energy intakes are fed at the levels described.

TL;DR: Dietary Reference Intakes are nutrient reference standards used for planning and assessing the diets of apparently healthy Canadians and Americans and include the Estimated Average Requirement, recommended intake level, and Adequate Intake.
Abstract: Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) are nutrient reference standards used for planning and assessing the diets of apparently healthy Canadians and Americans. The development of DRIs reflects a joint i...

TL;DR: The chief asset of RR compared with GR was psychological, in the sense that after rehydration the hospitalized child with mild to moderate GE can, by and large, be offered the quality and quantity of food and drink that he/she prefers without the fear of negative effects on the outcome.
Abstract: Fifty-two children aged 6-46 months (mean 19 months), hospitalized for acute gastroenteritis (GE), were randomized after oral rehydration to receive 7 days of either traditional gradual refeeding (GR) or rapid refeeding (RR), the latter consisting of a full-strength lactose-limited diet, including lactase-treated whole milk. The study focused on the effect of a high energy intake, excluding possible negative effects of lactose. Both dietary regimens were well tolerated, the only difference in the clinical symptoms between the two regimens being a higher stool frequency within the RR group (p less than 0.02). The total energy intake, as well as energy derived from fat and protein, was significantly higher in the RR than in the GR group (p less than 0.0001). The mean daily energy intake of the latter group never reached recommended daily allowance (RDA) levels, while that of the RR group did on day 5. Moreover, during the whole period of dietary regimen, the RR group exceeded the RDA protein requirements (mean intake ranged 175-252%), while the GR group did not reach this RDA level until day 4. Milk was a major source of energy in the RR group, providing 47-59% of the daily energy intake. The short- and long-term weight gains in the RR group were only a little higher than those of the GR group, the difference being insignificant.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

TL;DR: People whose total daily magnesium intake was below the RDA were significantly 40% more likely to have elevated CRP regardless of whether they were taking magnesium supplements, according to adjusted logistic regression analyses.
Abstract: Previous research has indicated that dietary magnesium may be a key component in the association between diet and inflammation; however, the role of intake from magnesium supplements has not been elucidated. The objective of this study was to determine the likelihood of elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) in people taking magnesium-containing supplements of 50 mg/d or more. We examined this issue in a study sample derived from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999-2002, a nationally representative, survey of the civilian, noninstitutionalized population of the United States. Among US adults, 25.6% were taking a magnesium supplement of at least 50 mg daily. Only 21.9% of individuals not taking supplemental magnesium met or exceeded the recommended daily allowances (RDA) for magnesium intake compared with 60.2% of adults who were taking magnesium supplements. In adjusted logistic regression analyses, people whose total daily magnesium intake was below the RDA were significantly 40% more likely to have elevated CRP regardless of whether they were taking magnesium supplements (P b .05). Among people with dietary magnesium intake less than 50% RDA, individuals taking magnesium supplements were 22% less likely to have elevated CRP. Magnesium supplement intake is associated with a lower likelihood of elevated CRP in people with low dietary magnesium intake. Prospective studies are needed to examine whether magnesium supplementation can reduce levels of CRP.
