Area of Science:

  • Nutritional Science
  • Trace Element Metabolism

Background:

  • Growing interest in boron as an essential trace element nutrient from dietary sources.
  • Previous estimates of dietary boron intake in the US population were based on limited data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive assessment of boron consumption in the American diet.
  • To identify major food and beverage contributors to daily boron intake.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a boron nutrient database for 1,944 foods, representing 95.3% of US food consumption.
  • Linked the database to 11,009 individual food records from the 1989-1991 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals (CSFII).
  • Calculated average daily boron intake for various demographic groups, including men, women, pregnant women, and vegetarians.

Main Results:

  • Estimated median daily boron intake: 1.17 mg/day for men, 0.96 mg/day for women, and 1.01 mg/day for pregnant women.
  • Vegetarian adults showed higher median intake (1.47 mg/day for men, 1.29 mg/day for women).
  • Coffee and milk were top contributors due to consumption volume, while peanut butter, wine, raisins, peanuts, and nuts were high in boron.

Conclusions:

  • This study offers a detailed analysis of boron intake across the US population.
  • Identified key food sources influencing overall boron consumption.
  • Results can inform future assessments of boron adequacy in the American diet.
