Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency
Quote:
The RDA for thiamine is 1.1–1.2 mg for adult females and males, respectively. With an average diet, even a poor one, it is not difficult to meet that daily requirement, and yet, measurable thiamine deficiency has been observed across multiple patient populations with incidence rates ranging from 20% to over 90% depending upon the study. This suggests that the RDA requirement may be insufficient to meet the demands of modern living. Inasmuch as thiamine deficiency syndromes pose great risk of chronic morbidity, and if left untreated, mortality, a more comprehensive understanding thiamine chemistry, relative to energy production, modern living, and disease, may prove useful.

I only recently discovered thiamine/mitochondrial research through the book, Toxic Superfoods. Which has been doing great things for my health. One of its recommendations was to supplement the RDA to help the mitochondria heal.
