rich. Almost as soon as affordable white bread was achieved,
dietary experts began to trumpet the virtues of brown.
Unsurprisingly, the British public proved reluctant to give
up their white loaves

Title: The Food Programme
Description: Beetroot and Health Legislation: If beetroot juice is good
for our blood pressure, should it be left up to the European
Union to decide whether or not a food manufacturer can make
such a claim? The food industry is reeling at the EU's
tightening of regulations, which make it more difficult to
make a health claim for a food. If precise scientific
evidence is required, isn't the EU treating food as if it is
a pharmaceutical drug? Sheila Dillon meets one beetroot
juice producer in Suffolk who is hoping to make a health
claim for his product, but is challenged by the EU
bureaucrats. Consumer safety is the paramount concern but is
this level of control costly and damaging for small food
companies and patronising to the consumer? Sheila travels to
Brussels and meets small food companies trying to come to
terms with the changes in EU health claims. In trying to
protect the public, could the bureaucrats be throwing the
metaphorical baby out with the bath water?
