In reality, however, most currently used methodologies for assessing the supposed \u201crisk\u201d of consuming micronutrients are anything but scientific and are actually deeply flawed.<\/p>\n<p>Unless these flaws are corrected, the eventual outcome for many micronutrients could be the global enforcement of maximum levels in supplements that are little different to the meagre \u2018Recommended Dietary Allowances\u2019 (RDAs).
