---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RDA is only for the vitamin and mineral. No RDA for fat, carbohydrate, protein. So you say because no one make RDA for fat, that means you do not need that? With fat, protein, carbohydrates it is subjective because of age, activity, sometimes male or female. No one number for all people.
killthesunshine, you say only eat plants and seed. Ok. A coconut is fruit from that plant. That fruit is the white inside the shell. That white have oil. That oil is saturated fat. The (whole) coconut is the seed.
I have to go now. But I will argue with you soon. But be careful with your health when you take (ALL) saturated fat away.
ERRRRT.. wrong answer. The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for both men and women is 0.80 g of protein/kg body weight per day. Carbohydrate RDA is 130g per day for adults. No RDA is set for saturated fatty acids. The body produces enough for it's needs. No known necessity to consume saturated fats in the diet. However, there are DECADES of research showing its harm.
I don't eat cocnuts for this reason. I don't eat any OTHER poisonous plants, only those that are safe to eat.
