Yes, of course. But I read it in English. I even have a free computer
program that will calculate your requirements down to the individual
essential or slightly essential amino acid levels. And if deficient,
will suggest which foods you might want to use to make the daily
requirements. I guess the program tracks about 30 well-known nutrients
that we need. For certain medium-chain fatty acids, you'll need to look
that up directly from the USDA which now tracks a large number of
different types of fatty acids, the Omega-3's, the Omega-6's, and even
the DHA and EPA in them. Very impressive of our government.

not the newsgroup to go into detail - after all, what does cooking have
to do with food
