Article: The U.S. Food Supply Series, 1970 to 1994: Nutrient Availability and Policy Implications.

The U.S. food supply series measures the amount of nutrients available per capita per day. This paper reviews trends in food supply consumption and nutrient levels for 1970 to 1994. Substantial change in the U.S. food supply during this period led to per capita availability increases for most nutrients, except for saturated fatty acids, cholesterol, and vitamin [B.sub.12].
