<p>The Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition’s (SACN’s) Carbohydrates and Health
report included an assessment of the relationship between dietary fibre and whole
grains intake and cardio-metabolic, colo-rectal and oral health outcomes. 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>
