Total Acquisition Cost (TAC): The total cost of delivering a product or service, or acquiring a customer.

Another Meaning[edit]

I received this from Scientific American:
VISION: What Is TAC and How Can It Help You Prevent Cataracts?
A reader asks, "Are there any foods I can eat to lessen my risk of developing cataracts?"

Here's our advice:

It's best to consume a variety of antioxidant-rich foods, which may provide some protection against age-related cataracts.

A Swedish study published in JAMA Ophthalmology found that combining certain foods enhanced their antioxidant effect. The study used a questionnaire-based nutrition survey of 30,607 women, ages 49 to 83, who were monitored for the development of age-related cataracts for about eight years. The researchers estimated the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of the women's diets -- a measure of the antioxidant effect achieved by combining certain foods.

The study found that women whose diets had the highest TAC had a 12.8 percent lower risk of developing age-related cataracts compared with women whose diets had a low TAC. The most important contributors to the TAC were fruits and vegetables, whole grains and coffee.

While the evidence for a preventive effect on cataract formation through diet is not strong, there are sound reasons, from an overall health perspective to follow a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, legumes (peas and beans), fish, and lean meats and poultry. A word of caution: Avoid taking antioxidants in single-supplement forms, such as high-dose vitamin C, which may actually increase the risk of age-related cataracts.

Total Allowable Catch[edit]

The term isn't restricted to Europe. Also used in Canada. If used world wide, the mention of Europe should be removed. Regards, ... PeterEasthope (talk) 13:03, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
