d13C Added Sugar Intake Biomarker: Determining Validity in Children
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating High added sugar diet and Low added sugar diet for Validation Studies. Completed, enrolled 370 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Added sugars (AS) constitute a significant source (\~ 16%) of the total daily calories consumed by youth. The role of AS in health is contentious, and the reliance on self-reported dietary data is an often-cited flaw in existing research. The investigators propose to establish the validity of the d13C biomarker for AS intake from fingerstick blood samples in children; our findings could significantly advance research addressing the health impacts of AS intake in children and adolescents.
