In conclusion it may be said that claims for the beneficial effects of high intakes of dietary fibre are largely based on circumstantial evidence and are almost certainly overstated. At the same time many people could, with advantage, increase their intake of fibre by eating more unrefined cereals, fruit and vegetables. The Report of the National Advisory Committee on Nutritional Education (NACNE) in 1983 recommended that the intake in this country should be increased from 20 to 25 g per day.
