****

Not RDA established. The Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Sciences recommends this range of intakes.

To calculate percentage of calories which come from fat: First, multiply the number of grams of fat in a serving by 9 (every gram of fat contains 9 calories) to determine the number of fat calories. Second, divide the number of fat calories by the total calories in the serving. Third, multiply by 100 the result reached in step 2.

Narcotic drugs (and acetaminophens, which are non-narcotic such as Tylenol, Panadol and Anacin-3) act on the brain and spinal cord to reduce the perception of a painful stimulus.

Non-narcotic drugs act at the site of pain to prevent the stimulation of nerve endings.
