That's a noodle scratcher.
My GF is a doctor too and I know she doens't eat much. I know that if you eat to much you will die because I know of someone that did. The UK RDA is 6g but I know you can eat more than that, but I also know they have studied this for years so I wont eat more than 6g if I can help it because it is likely to hinder me more than help.
Either way I would rather stick to the suggested amount because I know that the RDA isn't a random number, it is the conclusion to years of research. I understand changes can occur, but if that number were to change then I would still stick to the experts advice as they know infinately more than me on the issue than me.
