Abstract
METHODS USED to estimate dietary intakes are described and their relative merits are discussed in the context of intakes of heavy metals. In deriving the distribution of high levels of consumption of some foodstuffs a constant relationship has been found between the average consumption, and a measure of the highest consumption. The relationship holds good for a wide range of foods and for data collected using a variety of methods.Keywords
