Micronutrients in Europe Article Mapping low intake of micronutrients across Europe

Edward Archer

There is a large and significant difference between self-reported estimates of nutrient intakes and actual nutrient status (e.g., deficiencies). As my work shows, intakes are usually measured with pseudo-scientific methods and produce implausible (meaningless) data. Please see below. The last paper is a general review:

Article Validity of U.S. Nutritional Surveillance: National Health a...

Thus, if you are looking for data on actual nutrient status and not flawed data on intakes, you need find biochemical analyses as per below:
