approximately 75 percent of the male diet; this is in contrast to the Ujelang Survey in which the female intake exceeded that of the males (see Tables 17 and 18). In a report summarizing a survey conducted during July and August of 1967 at Majuro Atoll}? the average coconut use was approximately 0.5 coconuts per day per person. This included young drinking coconuts, old nuts used for grated meat and pressed for small volumes of milk and sprouting nuts used for ‘the sweet, soft core. Recent data from Eneu Island shows that an average drinking coconut contains 325 ml of fluid (0 = 125 ml) so that even if the entire average coconut use of 0.5 per _day were all drinking nuts the average daily intake would be about 160 g per day. This is in good agreement with the results from the Ujelang Survey and Naidu's results for coconut intake. In summary, two sources of data tend to confirm the magnitude of the intake of coconut and other dietary items developed in the Ujelang Survey. We, therefore, are using the results of the recent Ujelang Dietary Survey to develop the dose estimates in this paper. The "LLL" diet used in previous assessments 1,7 was developed from observations 13 and published reports in the literature. 14 Because there were no direct surveys of the people in recent years the "LLL" diet was designed to be conservetive, anything. i.e., overestimate the intake if From the recent Ujelang Survey it appears that that was indeed the case in that all inteke from the current survey is less than that previously used. -~ 25 - eT TR TT Sf
