SACN & British Dietetic Association Clinical Rules

30g Daily Fiber Target

SACN recommends 30g/day of dietary fiber for adults to reduce coronary heart disease, stroke, and colorectal cancer incidence. Syntro Health hits this threshold utilizing jumbo rolled oats, barley, lentils, wholewheat sourdough, and broccoli.

Free Sugars Capped at <5%

Free sugars (syrups, honey, fruit juices, refined sucrose) are strictly capped below 5% of total dietary energy, directly supporting the NHS National Diabetes Prevention Programme (NDPP).

Frequently Asked Questions

Syntro Health partitions daily meals into the five Eatwell proportions: over one-third fruit and vegetables (≥5 portions/day), just over one-third starchy carbohydrates (focusing on wholegrains), beans/pulses/fish/eggs/meat, dairy or unsweetened plant alternatives, and unsaturated oils, while keeping discretionary high-fat/high-sugar items to an absolute minimum.

The Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) mandates a minimum daily intake of 30g of dietary fiber for adults and restricts free sugars to no more than 5% of total dietary energy intake, rules enforced deterministically by Syntro Health's nutrition algorithm.

Syntro Health screens every proposed meal against the UK Food Standards Agency traffic light criteria, keeping total fat, saturated fat, sugars, and salt within green and amber thresholds while strictly rejecting red-tier sodium and free-sugar surges.
