Below is an excerpt from Part Two of The 2004 Multi-Diet by Anderson A. Anonymous, M.D., Ph.D. Table 18: EFA RDIs RDIs for EFAs
Fatty Acid	Source	Amt	Cal	RDI
Linoleic Acid (LA)	1 Tblsp (14 g) Safflower Oil	10 grams	120	7-11 grams
Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA)	1 Tsp (4.6 g) Flaxseed Oil	2.3 grams	40	1.1-1.8 grams
RDIs are Canadian Recommended Nutrient Intakes (RNI) Note that in this one case the standard English household measures very convenientlyapproximate the correct RDIs.
