“…For adults they provided around 6% of the total daily energy intake, but were a good source (>25% RDI) of thiamin, riboflavin and (for men) iron, and a source (>10% RDI) of protein, niacin, folate (for men), calcium, iron (for women), magnesium and phosphorus. Breakfast cereals alone provided 12% of the dietary fibre, but only 3.5% of the sugar in the overall daily intake of adults -similar to the percentages reported in the US (Morgan et al , 1981) and England (Hackett et al , 1986). People over 65 years, who were the greatest users of bran cereals (Williams, 2002), obtained more than 15% of their dietary fibre from breakfast cereals.…”

The aim of this study was to describe the nutrients provided to Australian adults by the breakfast meal and compare the food and nutrient intakes and health of regular breakfast eaters and skippers. The Australian Bureau of Statistics was commissioned to undertake additional analysis of data collected in the 1995 Australian National Nutrition Survey (NNS). The survey included 24 hour recalls, physical measurements and a food habits questionnaire collected during the period February 1995 to March 1996, with a nationally representative sample of 10851 Australians aged nineteen years and older. The median nutrient intakes at breakfast and the proportion of the daily total contributed by breakfast were calculated. Differences between regular breakfast eaters and breakfast skippers in terms of nutrient intake, BMI and health status were compared using student t-tests. The findings show typical Australian breakfast was low in fat, high in carbohydrate and a good source of thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, calcium and magnesium. In the NNS regular breakfast eaters had more adequate diets overall, particularly those aged 65+ years. People who didn't eat breakfast cereal were much more likely to have inadequate nutrient intakes, especially of thiamin, riboflavin, calcium, magnesium and iron. Regular breakfast eaters were more likely to rate their health as excellent or good than those who skip breakfast, but there was no difference between the fat intake or the BMI of regular breakfast eaters compared to breakfast skippers. Regular breakfast consumption is associated with better diets for adults overall.

“…Some are confined to single food groups. e. g. breakfast cereals [14][15][16][17][18], while others focus on nutrient intake from fortification in adults only [19][20][21][22]. Long-term data on fortified food consumption patterns is not available for adults nor for children and adolescents.…”

“…Previous studies have documented intakes of folic acid in children and adolescents, including recent studies that estimated the percentages of children aged 1-13 and 14-18 y whose intakes exceeded their age-specific ULs; however, none of the studies examined the relation between consumption of ECGP alone and the usual daily intake of folic acid in the postfortification era (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14). Because the quantity of folic acid per serving in a number of RTE products is equivalent to that in supplements, it is important to separate the folic acid intake from RTE from the intake from ECGP in fortified foods.…”

Background: US children consume folic acid from multiple sources. These sources may contribute differently to usual intakes above the age-specific tolerable upper intake level (UL) for folic acid and to folate and vitamin B-12 status. Objective: We estimated usual daily folic acid intakes above the UL and adjusted serum and red blood cell folate, serum vitamin B-12, homocysteine, and methylmalonic acid (MMA) concentrations in US children by age group and by the following 3 major folic acid intake sources: enriched cereal-grain products (ECGP), ready-to-eat cereals (RTE), and supplements containing folic acid (SUP). Design: We analyzed data in 4 groups of children aged 1-3, 4-8, 9-13, and 14-18 y from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), 2003-2006 (n = 7161). Results: A total of 19-48% of children consumed folic acid from ECGP only. Intakes above the UL varied from 0-0.1% of children who consumed ECGP only to 15-78% of children who consumed ECGP+RTE+SUP. In children aged 1-8 y, 99-100% of those who consumed !200 lg folic acid/d from supplements exceeded their UL. Although ,0.5% of children had folate deficiency or low vitamin B-12 status, the consumption of RTE or SUP with folic acid was associated with higher mean folate and vitamin B-12 concentrations and, in some older children, with lower homocysteine and MMA concentrations. Conclusions: Our data suggest that the majority of US children consume more than one source of folic acid. Postfortification, the consumption of RTE or SUP increases usual daily intakes and blood concentrations of folate and vitamin B-12.Am J Clin Nutr 2011;93:172-85.
