The fibre gap - can the food industry bridge it?
Fibre is arguably one of the most important and most neglected nutrients in the Western diet.
Sixty per cent of people are not hitting their daily requirements and, unlike protein, it has an image problem that public health campaigns have largely failed to fix.
In this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, recorded at our Ascot event, three experts examine the fibre gap from three very different angles: the supply chain, the behavioural science, and the cutting-edge physiology.
We hear the case for "stealth health" and invisible integration as the only realistic route to getting more fibre into consumer diets right now, and how a landmark Danish intervention doubled national fibre intake.
