There is growing interest in the impact of different types of carbohydrate on long-term health. Epidemiological evidence suggests an inverse relationship between wholegrain consumption and the risk of a variety of non-communicable diseases including cardiovascular disease (CVD), type two diabetes and some cancers. Consumption of wholegrain foods in the UK is less than one portion per week, per person and well below the level which may confer health benefits. This study represents the first community-based randomised controlled trial of the impact of incremental increases in consumption of wholegrain foods on the risk of CVD. Importantly, biomarkers of wholegrain consumption and improved methods for assessing compliance will also be evaluated. This study will document the quantitative health impact in a community sample, together with qualitative information on the acceptability of wholegrain foods to provide a robust platform on which dietary recommendations can be based.
