There is no getting away from it; Western diets are lacking in fibre, but what are the implications for our health?

As awareness grows around the critical role of fibre in overall health, it is more important than ever to look closely at the current state of fibre consumption and its implications. 

In this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, recorded at our event in Manchester in November 2024, our expert panel lays bare the true picture of fibre intake in the UK.

Our guests discuss how a lack of fibre is contributing to our overall health, the challenges around increasing fibre consumption, and the opportunities stemming from low fibre intake.

All of this with one overarching question; how do we bridge the fibre gap?

Guests:
Nicole de Wit, Food, Health and Consumer Research, Wageningen Food & Biobased Research

Eric Holub, Professor of Plant Genetics, University of Warwick
Mark as Played
