30 g of fibre a day: An achievable recommendation?
Abstract
The Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) recently published its draft report on Carbohydrates and Health, in which new recommended intakes for fibre were proposed for children and adults, following an in‐depth review of the scientific evidence base. The recommendation for the adult population of 30 g/day, measured by the Association of Official Analytical Chemists' (AOAC) method, is somewhat higher than current recommendation and, according to intakes reported in the recent National Diet and Nutrition Survey, would require men to increase their fibre intakes by around 50% and women by 75%.

The nutritional value of food: A retailer's view on McCance and Widdowson's The Composition of Foods Data
Abstract
Clear, concise, up‐to‐date food composition data are essential to the food retail sector. Legislation requires nutrition information on food labels to be accurate and provided in a format that consumers can read and understand. A product's nutrition panel enables consumers to make informed decisions at point of sale or purchase and choose products best suited to their dietary needs. This is particularly important in light of current public health concerns regarding energy (kcal), fat, saturated fat, sugar and salt intakes within the UK diet and also for increasing intake of nutrients conducive to health. In th...

Cued satiety: How consumer expectations modify responses to ingested nutrients
This report highlights recent studies, conducted largely as part of the BBSRC DRINC initiative, which examined how beliefs about satiety before food ingestion and the sensory experience during ingestion together influence how the consumer responds to food. These studies highlight the integrative nature of satiety and pave the way for updated models of satiety and novel products that should aid consumers' ability to regulate their appetite.

Sugars and obesity: Is it the sugars or the calories?
Abstract
Sugars containing fructose are emerging as the dominant public health targets for their role in the epidemic of overweight and obesity. This position is largely supported by ecological observations, rodent models of overfeeding and select human trials. Higher level evidence from systematic reviews and meta‐analyses of controlled dietary trials has yet to show convincingly that fructose‐containing sugars behave differently from any other forms of energy (especially refined starch and fat). Prospective cohort studies, which provide the strongest observational evidence, have shown an association between risk of o...
