  • Source of bias in sugar-sweetened beverage research

    Open AccessEthan A Litman, Steven L Gortmaker et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2018

    Objective Financial conflicts of interest involving the food industry have been reported to bias nutrition studies. However, some have hypothesized that independently funded studies may be biased if the authors have strong a priori beliefs about the healthfulness of a food product (‘white hat bias’). The extent to which each source of bias may affect the scientific literature has not been examined. We aimed to explore this question with research …

  • A Randomized Trial of Sugar-Sweetened Beverages and Adolescent Body Weight

    Cara B Ebbeling, Henry A Feldman et al.ARTICLENew England Journal of Medicine2012

    BACKGROUND: Consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages may cause excessive weight gain. We aimed to assess the effect on weight gain of an intervention that included the provision of noncaloric beverages at home for overweight and obese adolescents. METHODS: We randomly assigned 224 overweight and obese adolescents who regularly consumed sugar-sweetened beverages to experimental and control groups. The experimental group received a 1-year intervent…

  • Effects of Fast-Food Consumption on Energy Intake and Diet Quality Among Children in a National Household Survey

    Shanthy A Bowman, Shanthy Bowman et al.ARTICLEPEDIATRICS2004

    Background. Fast food has become a prominent feature of the diet of children in the United States and, increasingly, throughout the world. However, few studies have examined the effects of fast-food consumption on any nutrition or health-related outcome. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that fast-food consumption adversely affects dietary factors linked to obesity risk. Methods. This study included 6212 children and adolescents 4 …

  • Determinants of accuracy in estimating the weight and volume of commonly used foods

    James R Hebert, Prakash Chandra Gupta et al.ARTICLEEcology of Food and Nutrition1998

    Inaccuracy of dietary self‐reports may result from an inability to estimate portion sizes of foods. To determine the influence of cultural factors, 162 subjects at three study locations in rural India and 100 subjects in Massachusetts, USA were asked to estimate weights and volumes of four commonly used food items. Compared with their Massachusetts counterparts, subjects in India evinced errors in their estimates of food weights which averaged on…
