Although urinary zinc losses decrease markedly with severe deficiency baer king 1984 across a dietary intake range of 4 25 mg day urinary zinc and non intestinal losses in general appears to be largely independent of dietary intake. Recent estimates of dietary reference intakes dri for zn by the institute of medicine iom were based on data from low phytate or phytate free diets.
