Cereal Foods World 52(4):182-187. Dietary and lifestyle modifications are well recognized means of reducing the risk of diseases of affluence such as cardiovascular dysfunction, bowel disorders and type II diabetes. One viable strategy for improving public health is to modify the food supply to create products that deliver substantiated health benefits while retaining consumer appeal. This paper illustrates the alteration of cereal grain composition as a means for delivering nutritional benefits through examples of high amylose wheat and BARLEYmax.
