White flour milled in the UK is already fortified with calcium, iron, and two B vitamins, while many popular cereals have vitamin D and others added by the manufacturer.
The researcher says adding vitamin D to all wheat flour would prevent 25% of the estimated 40 million new cases of vitamin D deficiency over the coming 90 years.The report, published in in European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, says offering free vitamin D supplements to the most vulnerable groups, including children, the elderly and black and Asian minority ethnic, would prevent an additional 8% of new cases.
The report's author, Dr Magda Aguiar, said:"While both supplements and fortified foods are important sources of vitamin D for the UK population, evidence suggests current UK supplementation polices are not working. "Addressing vitamin D deficiency in the UK requires a multi-disciplinary approach and preventing conditions that are the consequence of deficiency would save the NHS money to the extent that it would more than compensate for the money needed to implement flour fortification at a national level."
