Sažetak
Several components found in cereals have known potential for reducing risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and other diseases. Refining generally reduces the content of these important disease-preventing nutrients and bioprotective substances. The objective of present work was to determine the daily dietary intake of cereal products in an adult urban sample in eastern Croatia. The investigation was performed during August and September with 45 participants (28 women and 17 men). A food frequency questionnaire was used to obtain data on intake of cereal products. The mean daily intake of cereals for all subjects was 290 g/day (287 g/day for women ; 294 g/day for men). Of the total energy intake, 30 % was provided by this food group. Bread was the greatest contributor to cereal intake (72 %), with about half of the amount as white bread. Major sources of whole grains were breads and breakfast cereals, and average consumption of whole grains was less than currently recommended intake of 3 servings per day. Increasing variety and availability of tasty whole grain products could lead to greater consumption levels, with favorable public health impact.
