Micronutrients & recovery
Consumption of wheat-derived dietary fiber is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and colorectal cancer.
Include wholegrain wheat products like bread in your daily diet to meet fiber needs. In the UK, bread alone provides 20% of daily fiber intake. This intake is linked to lower risks of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and colorectal cancer. If you have IBS, look for low-FODMAP wheat options to manage symptoms while still getting fiber.
well-established relationships between the consumption of cereal dietary fiber and reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and forms of cancer (notably colorectal cancer).
Why this rating
The paper cites 'well-established relationships' and references specific health claims approved by EFSA/FDA for fiber, indicating strong observational and regulatory consensus.
