Based on the SACN’s findings that increasing dietary fibre intake would reduce the risk of heart diseases, type 2 diabetes and bowel cancer, the Government recommends that children and adults should increase their daily fibre intake through a variety of food sources. These recommendations are reflected in the United Kingdom’s national food model, the Eatwell Guide, and the five a day programme.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill grouped question UIN 27241 question first answered 13/07/2021 10:11:54 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill
