It seems that you'd want to do something like:
select nutrient_no, nutrient_value from nutrient_data where ndb_no =
13473 and nutrient_no in (203, 204, 208..)
You could also grab the most significant 8 nutrients by doing something
like:
select nutrient_no, nutrient_value from nutrient_data where ndb_no =
13473 order by nutrient_value desc limit 8
