The range of intakes, that is, the upper and lower limits of intake, of the fat energy ratio, saturated fatty acids, n-6 series fatty acids, n-3 series fatty acids and cholesterol have been laid down in the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) for Japanese, 2005. However, it is not easy, even for nutrition specialists, such a dietitians who manage daily dietary intakes, to understand the DRIs of lipids, for which there are so many reference values. It would be rather difficult in daily dietary management to control the intake of various lipid-containing foods to satisfy the DRIs of the various components of lipids. Therefore, in this paper, we describe how the DRIs of lipids should be understood from the viewpoint of users, and an example composition of food groups that could be available in the future is shown.
