HC Deb 27 July 1964 vol 699 cc188-9W
77. Mrs. Butler

asked the Minister of Health what hospital studies are being made of a possible connection between coronary heart disease and the refinement of flour following research on these lines in Oslo, details of which are available to his department.

Mr. Braine

Research is going on in a number of centres into the possible connection between the fatty acids, which occur in food, and coronary heart disease but not, so far as I know, with particular reference to flour. Scientific reports of the work referred to in Oslo are not as yet available.
