A recent study highlights how commonly consumed foods, including unexpected sources like chicken and ketchup, contribute to excessive saturated fat and added sugar intake in American diets, emphasizing the need for enhanced consumer awareness and dietary assessments.
And then there’s the abundance of added sugar, which raises a public health policy concern, said lead author Susan Schembre, associate professor of oncology at Georgetown University’s Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center.Researchers analyzed data from 36,378 U.S. adults aged 19 and older who had participated from 2005 to 2018 in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
The team is creating an app for targeted assessment of “nutrients of concern,” and demonstrated that this analytic method produced a representative list of foods behind most saturated fat and added sugar intake. NHANES data is key to understanding nutrition in the United States, but for disease interventions, getting at the problem food and drink sources of fat, added sugar and, still to come, sodium, is more efficient and effective.
