A comprehensive knowledge of the types and ratios microbes that inhabit healthy human gut is necessary before any kind pre-clinical or clinical study can be performed attempts to alter microbiome treat a condition improve therapy outcome. To address this need we present an innovative scalable analysis workflow, reference list abundance profile (GutFeelingKB), novel Fecal Biome Population Report (FecalBiome) with applicability. GutFeelingKB provides 157 organisms (8 phyla, 18 classes, 23...
Non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS), especially in form of diet soda, have been linked to metabolic derangements (e.g. obesity and diabetes) epidemiologic studies. We aimed test acute effects NNS isolation (water or seltzer) sodas.We conducted a four-period, cross-over study at the National Institutes Health Clinical Center (Bethesda, Maryland). Thirty healthy adults consumed 355 mL water with 0 mg, 68 170 250 mg sucralose, 31 individuals caffeine-free Diet Rite Cola™, Mountain Dew™ (18 18...
Nonnutritive sweeteners (NNS), including saccharin, sucralose, aspartame, and acesulfame-potassium, are commonly consumed in the general population, all except for saccharin considered safe use during pregnancy lactation. Sucralose (Splenda) currently holds majority of NNS market share is often combined with acesulfame-potassium a wide variety foods beverages. To date, only reported to be found human breast milk after maternal consumption, while there no apparent information on other NNS....
The aim of this study was to determine sucralose and acesulfame-potassium (ace-K) pharmacokinetics in breast milk following maternal ingestion a diet soda.Thirty-four exclusively breast-feeding women (14 normal-weight, 20 obese) consumed 12 ounces Diet Rite Cola, sweetened with 68-mg 41-mg ace-K, before standardized breakfast meal. Habitual non-nutritional sweeteners intake assessed via questionnaire. Breast collected from the same beverage hourly for 6 hours.Owing one mother having...
Objective. To evaluate parental attitudes toward providing foods and beverages with nonnutritive sweeteners (NNS) to their children explore ability recognize NNS in packaged beverages. Methods. 120 parents of ≥ 1 ≤18 years age completed brief questionnaires upon entering or exiting a grocery store. Parental were assessed using an interviewer-assisted survey. selection food (with without NNS) was evaluated during shopping simulation activity. identify products tested recognition test....
This Viewpoint discusses the growing presence of nonsugar sweeteners (NSSs) in food supply and mounting concerns about their use, which suggest that disclosure amounts NSS beverages restrictions on use products marketed to children are warranted.
The FDA is considering changes to its Nutrition Facts label, but other labeling would help consumers select nutritious foods. One key concern sugar- and calorie-related claims, especially with regard nonnutritive sweeteners product sweetness.
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has caused striking alterations to daily life, with important impacts on children's health. Spending more time at home and out of school due COVID-19 related closures may exacerbate obesogenic behaviors among children, including consumption sugary drinks (SDs). This qualitative study aimed investigate effects the SD dietary behaviors. Children 8–14 years old their parent ( n = 19 dyads) participated in an in-depth interview. Interviews were recorded,...
<b>Valisa Hedrick and colleagues</b> argue that current evidence on non-sugar sweetener intake is inadequate, further research needed to determine the health effects of individual sweeteners, especially in specific population subgroups
Maternal morbidities present a major burden to the health and well-being of childbearing women. However, their impacts on women's quality life (QoL) are not well understood. This work aims describe extent which women experience during pregnancy postpartum affect QoL identify any protective or risk factors. qualitative study included pregnant in Kenya, Ghana, Zambia, Pakistan, India. Data were collected between November 2023 June 2024. Participants selected via purposive sampling, with...
Minimizing consumption of added sugars is recommended to prevent excessive weight gain among pregnant women. A common approach lowering sugar intake the use low-calorie sweeteners (LCSs), yet little known about LCS during pregnancy or its effects on infant and health.
Low-calorie sweetener (LCS) consumption is associated with metabolic disease in observational studies. However, physiologic mechanisms underlying LCS-induced impairments humans are unclear. This study aimed at identifying molecular pathways adipose impacted by LCSs.Seven females overweight or obesity, who did not report LCS use, consumed 12 ounces of diet soda containing sucralose and acesulfame-potassium (Ace-K) three times daily for 8 weeks. A subcutaneous biopsy from the left abdomen a...
Given the high prevalence of childhood obesity in United States, we aimed to investigate youth's understanding and gaps between their nutritional knowledge, dietary habits, perceived susceptibility its co-morbidities. A marketing firm contracted by Children's Healthcare Atlanta facilitated a series focus group discussions (FGD) test potential concepts sample ads for development an awareness campaign. Data were collected August September 2010 with both overweight healthy weight 4th-5th grade...
