Plant-based nutrition


There is a strong scientific consensus around the idea that we should all increase our whole grain intake to evolve towards healthier diets. The body of evidence surrounding whole grains is growing and it is still under discussion to what extent cereal fiber and bran are responsible. Through past educational campaigns, consumers know globally they should move from refined towards wholemeal cereal foods and grains, but not yet to what extent precisely.

Here, you will find science-based Resources containing helpful overview of the scientific evidence and insights built with experts in dietary fibers in cereal foods and wholegrain benefits on metabolic diseases.

You can even dig further into the Research on which the Resources are based to learn more about scientific findings around health benefits of wholegrain and reviews to propose a daily intake recommendation.
