“…The literature search allowed us to identify 21 programs in children and adolescents; more precisely, nine programs in children (described in 12 studies [ 71 , 74 , 75 , 76 , 77 , 78 , 79 , 80 , 81 , 82 , 83 , 84 ]), seven in adolescents [ 46 , 85 , 86 , 87 , 88 , 89 , 90 ], and five that did not separate age groups and considered children and adolescents together (described in nine studies [ 18 , 72 , 91 , 92 , 93 , 94 , 95 , 96 , 97 ]). For adults, 10 programs were identified: four in young adults (described in six studies [ 49 , 76 , 98 , 99 , 100 , 101 ]), two in middle-aged adults [ 57 , 74 ], two in older adults [ 62 , 63 ], one that considered young and middle-aged adults together [ 73 ], and one that considered all ages together (described in three studies [ 18 , 97 , 102 ]).…”

“…Finally, the programs in children and adolescents were of various types, with the highest prevalence emanating from academic researchers, and the remainder relatively balanced between private programs (supported by non-governmental organizations or industries) and public or governmental programs. Some programs involved both public and private stakeholders, such as the Fuldkorn program in Denmark [ 18 , 97 , 102 ]. In adults, almost all identified programs were performed by academic researchers (see Table 2 and Table 3 for details).…”

“…The main objectives were to improve the accessibility and identification of WG-containing products, as well as the awareness of beneficial effects of WG. This program made it possible to increase WG consumption from 33 g/d in 2000–2004 to 58 g/d in 2011–2013 in adults, and from 28 to 58 g/d in children over the same period [ 18 , 97 , 102 ] (see also Table 2 and Table 3 ).…”

Despite their recognized health benefits, intakes of whole grains (WG) are below recommended levels in almost all countries worldwide. This observation highlights the need to increase WG consumption by understanding factors influencing this consumption and how they could be favorably impacted. This review focused on facilitators of and barriers to WG consumption and how to improve the effectiveness of programs aiming at increasing WG consumption. The main methods to facilitate WG intakes in both adults and children seem to be to (i) increase the availability and the variety of foods containing WG, (ii) improve their sensory appeal, (iii) reduce their purchase cost, (iv) use a familiarization period to introduce them to consumers (with a gradual increase in consumed amounts and repeated exposure), and (v) improve communication and labeling to enhance consumers’ ability to identify products with WG. These strategies may be used to improve the effectiveness of programs aiming at promoting WG consumption, with a further emphasis on the need to apply them over a long period of time, and potentially to include tasting sessions of new foods containing WG. Finally, these strategies should involve broad partnerships between multiple stakeholders at the regulatory, institutional and industrial levels.

“…). Quantitative recommendations range from around 48 g/day [at least 3‐ounce equivalents (servings) of wholegrains daily] in the US (US Department of Agriculture and US Department of Health and Human Services ), to around 75 g/day in Denmark (depending on age and sex) (Brinch‐Nielsen & Neese ). In Australia, like the UK, wholegrain recommendations are not quantified although the statement ‘Enjoy grain (cereal) foods, mostly wholegrain and/or high cereal fibre varieties’ is included within their dietary guidelines (National Health and Medical Research Council , ).…”

The challenge of increasing wholegrain intake in the UK

While fibre and wholegrains are often discussed simultaneously, they are distinct with the former classified as a nutrient and the latter as a food group that provides fibre, along with other important nutrients. Wholegrains are an integral part of a healthy, balanced diet and have been linked to several health benefits, including reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and colorectal cancer. Yet consumption in the UK is low, and barriers to increasing wholegrain intake exist among the UK population. These include confusion around how much to consume, which foods contain wholegrains and how they are beneficial to health, acceptance of the organoleptic properties (e.g. taste, texture) of wholegrain foods, lack of knowledge about how to cook wholegrains and negative perceptions about starchy carbohydrates. The absence of a standardised wholegrains definition and a quantified wholegrain intake recommendation in the UK remains a challenge for consumers and industry, and may limit the impact of public health messages. The Healthgrain Forum has recently proposed definitions for ‘wholegrains’ and ‘wholegrain foods’ that are readily useable by the food industry and regulatory bodies. To help increase wholegrain intake in the UK, co‐operation and collaboration is required by stakeholders to educate consumers about wholegrains and inform initiatives. Food retailers have an important role to play in making wholegrains more accessible, convenient and palatable through actions such as product development and wholegrain labelling.

“…As well as fruit and vegetables, campaigns to increase wholegrain intake in the population may improve fibre intake. Again in Denmark, a public health campaign was initiated in 2009 to increase wholegrain consumption (Brinch‐Nielsen & Neese ). Mean wholegrain intake increased from 32 g to 55 g/day between 2004 and 2012 (Mejborn et al .…”

Dietary fibre and the prevention of chronic disease – should health professionals be doing more to raise awareness?

The recent report on Carbohydrates and Health by the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition concluded that a high fibre intake is associated with reduced risk of a number of significant chronic diseases in the UK, although further studies are needed to fully elucidate the precise mechanisms involved. New recommendations have been set for adults and younger people but dietary surveys suggest that intakes are currently well below these targets, reflecting low consumption of fibre-containing foods such as fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds and high-fibre/wholegrain starchy foods. A wide number of interrelated barriers to increasing intakes have been purported. These include a lack of awareness of the health benefits of fibre; relatively little interest amongst the media compared with other nutrients (e.g. sugars); perceived high cost of fruit and vegetables; perceptions of starchy carbohydrates as unhealthy; taste preferences for refined grains; lack of a specific dietary recommendation or national awareness campaign for fibre or wholegrain intake; no general permitted (European Food Safety Authority approved) health claims for fibre and wholegrain; and a lack of mandatory labelling of fibre values on packaging. Health professionals have an important role in giving dietary advice, including the promotion of dietary fibre. However, as well as limited time during appointments to discuss diet and lifestyle issues, the level of confidence and competency in delivering such advice may be lacking amongst some health professionals. Current knowledge and awareness of the key messages around dietary fibre amongst health professionals have been poorly studied. A small online survey of UK practice nurses (n = 50) recently commissioned by the British Nutrition Foundation suggested that, although the benefits of dietary fibre intake in relation to cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and colorectal cancer are largely acknowledged, the perceived importance of fibre for patient health is lower than other nutrients such as fat and sugars. One in five nurses reported not having adequate skills or knowledge to offer dietary advice and one in four said they sometimes lacked the confidence to give dietary advice to their patients. In view of the evidence for the health benefits for dietary fibre, there is a need to increase the importance that health professionals place on communicating ways to boost intakes amongst their
