Abstract

Fibre is assuming an increasingly important role in the UK diet, and therefore it is essential that we understand how it may affect nutritional status. Currently there is concern about the effect of fibre on mineral metabolism, since it has been shown to reduce the absorption of some minerals, such as iron and zinc, from the diet.

Abstract

Discusses the problems associated with an inadequate dietary supply of iron in relation to the prevention of anaemia. Describes results of recent work examining the free radical generation hypothesis to explain epidemiological observations that high iron intakes are associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer. Further work is needed to derive the upper limits of dietary reference values. Attention is drawn to the difficulties in setting dietary reference values in the absence of information on bioavailability of whole diets.
