This\nnew report, the sixth in a series of reports presenting dietary reference values\nfor the intakes of nutrients by Americans and Canadians, establishes\nnutrient recommendations on water, potassium, and salt for health maintenance\nand the reduction of chronic disease risk.\nDietary Reference Intakes for Water, Potassium, Sodium, Chloride, and Sulfate\ndiscusses in detail the role of water, potassium, salt, chloride, and sulfate in\nhuman physiology and health. The major findings in this book include the\nestablishment of Adequate Intakes for total water (drinking water, beverages,\nand food), potassium, sodium, and chloride and the establishment of\nTolerable Upper Intake levels for sodium and chloride. The book makes\nresearch recommendations for information needed to advance the understanding\nof human requirements for water and electrolytes, as well as\nadverse effects associated with the intake of excessive amounts of water,\nsodium, chloride, potassium, and sulfate. This book will be an invaluable\nreference for nutritionists, nutrition researchers, and food manufacturers.", url = "https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/10925/dietary-reference-intakes-for-water-potassium-sodium-chloride-and-sulfate", year = 2005, publisher = "The National Academies Press", address = "Washington, DC" }
