The RDA is an arbitrary number, which has a very precise and arcane definition. Moreover, the methodolgy by which it is determined enfolds numerous assumptions, any one of which might be false for any single person contemplating their nutrient intake.
The RDA is a defined deficiency state. I am wondering why you are focussing on that value, when there are intakes associated with both acute and chronic treatments that are very different than that value? I don't see the connection between RDA and optimal health.
