Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is see how well two dietary intake questionnaires, blood values, and urine samples can estimate what participants are eating and drinking. Specifically, the investigators are looking at the validity of a new artificial sweetener food frequency questionnaire and a urinary biomarker for artificial sweetener consumption. Additionally, the investigators are examining the ability of a rapid beverage intake questionnaire (BEVQ-15) to determine Healthy Beverage Index scores.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• non-nutritive sweetener intake

  agreement between non-nutritive sweetener intake from the food frequency questionnaire and dietary recalls and between the urinary biomarker and dietary recalls

  2 weeks

• Healthy Beverage Index Scores

  Healthy Beverage Index scores are similar to Healthy Eating Scores and range from 0-100, with higher scores indicating greater agreement with beverage recommendations and guidelines. Agreement between total Healthy Beverage Index Scores from the BEVQ-15 (a beverage frequency questionnaire) and Healthy Beverage Index Scores from dietary recalls will be compared.

  2 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Metabolic syndrome and non-nutritive sweetener intake

  2 weeks

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

The aim of this project is to study dietary consumption patterns and identify a method to assess habitual non-nutritive sweetener consumption in the adult population (food frequency questionnaire and biomarker). Thus, our study aims to recruit a sample of participants that represents the general population.

You may qualify if:

• The subject pool for this study includes adults. Participants must be 18 years of age or older and must speak English.
