Abstract
A recommended dietary allowance (RDA) should be established for total dietary fiber (TDF) in the next edition of the National Academy of Sciences Report on recommended intakes. Sufficient scientific evidence is available to warrant advice on, at least, the upper and lower limits of fiber intake consistent with health. An RDA needs to be established for fiber intake to guide the development of Daily Values, used in the Nutrient Facts on food labels as well as the development of Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
