| Method |
"The aim of [researchers'] study is to determine the level of intake of
dietary fiber in a representative adult US population during
the past decade, and specifically document progress toward
the national goal of increasing intake to USDA/Institute of
Medicine recommended levels." |
| Comments |
"The findings of [researchers'] study illustrate a lack of meaningful
change in average dietary fiber intake during the past decade,
and are consistent with other studies that have examined average
fiber intake in the United States (17). The lack of progress
in increasing daily fiber consumption closer to recommended
intake is disappointing given that public health
messages have been consistently disseminated through a
number of different media, and national goals have been publicized
by several organizations during this time (1,2,18). Further,
after taking into account possible over- and underreporting
(2007-2008 only), the revised number for average
daily dietary fiber intake went from 15.9 g/day to 14.8 g/day,
which is even further from national goals." |
