Dietary Reference Intakes for Energy, Carbohydrate, Fiber, Fat, Fatty
Acids, Cholesterol, Protein, and Amino Acids (Macronutrients),
Institute of Medicine, 2002
This report is the fifth in a series of reports from the Food and
Nutrition Board presenting dietary reference values for the intake of
nutrients by Americans and Canadians. This group works with the
scientific evaluation of dietary reference intakes.
http://www.iom.edu/report.asp?id=4340
The report doesn't set maximum levels for saturated fat,
cholesterol, or trans fatty acids, as increased risk exists at levels
above zero, however the recommendation is to eat as little as
possible while consuming a diet adequate in important other essential
nutrients
Recommendations are made for linoleic acid (an omega-6 fatty
acid) and for alpha-linolenic acid (an omega- 3 fatty acid)
