Does anyone have pointers to sources (or preferably, one good source.
I bet it doesn't exist, though) which would describe the:


-3:	What low level will outright cripple you
		(and what happens)
-2:	What minimum you can drop to in a pinch
		(and effects of temporary shortage)
-1:	What mimimum you can get away with
		(and long term effects of going below this limit regularly)

-0:	US RDA
 0:	What current medicine recommends

 1:	How much you can safely ingest regularly 
		(long term effects of exceeding this limit regularly)
 2:	How much you can get away with for a limited period
		(and possible benifits of megadosing)
 3:	What limit is outright poison
		(and what happens to you)


		FOR:

Protein, carbohydrates, (sugars, others, etc), lipids, cholesterol,
vitamins, minerals, air, water, miscellaneous trace chemicals, and 
anything that I might have overlooked.
(in short, everything that people ingest, or need to ingest)
