Riepilogo

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing that it is cosponsoring, with other health research organizations, a public conference to update and summarize the scientific information available on the association between dietary fiber and cancer and dietary fiber and coronary heart disease. The conference will also provide an opportunity to discuss the criteria that should be used in determining whether significant scientific agreement on the validity of a dietary fiber-cancer or a dietary fiber-coronary heart disease relationship exists. The conference will include invited summary presentations and panel discussions by expert scientists and public discussions of the scientific evidence.
