This statement is true. The UL (Tolerable Upper Intake Level) is the highest level of daily nutrient intake that is likely to pose no risk of toxicity for almost all individuals in the general population. Regularly consuming more than the UL for a nutrient can lead to toxicity disorders. The other statements are not true: A) Dietitians usually rely on more robust methods than Daily Values to evaluate the nutritional adequacy of diets, B) 50% of the EAR would likely not be sufficient for most Americans to avoid nutrient deficiency disorders, and C) meeting the EER (Estimated Energy Requirement) does not always result in weight gain or loss - it is simply a measure of the energy (calorie) needs of an individual based on various factors like age, sex, and physical activity level.
