Excessive intakes of added and free sugars are associated with several adverse health effects. However, due to an absence of objective or standardised methods to measure intake, there is limited knowledge about consumption, including in Swedish adolescents. Adolescence is a critical period for establishing healthy dietary habits, as food patterns formed during these years often persist into adulthood, influencing longterm health. Dietary habits of Swedish adolescents overall fail to meet dietary guidelines. The adolescent diet is generally low in vegetables and fruit, dietary fibre and wholegrains, alongside high in saturated fats, salt, and sugars. Despite these concerns, intake levels of added or free sugars have not previously been quantified in Swedish adolescents. The overarching aim of this doctoral thesis is to examine dietary intake in Swedish adolescents, emphasising added and free sugars intake.
This publication was developed by an international group of experts as an integral part of the IAEA’s efforts to contribute to the transfer of technology and knowledge in nutrition. Its aim is to assist Member States in their efforts to combat malnutrition by facilitating the use of relevant nuclear techniques. The stable (non-radioactive) isotope technique has been developed to assess intake of human milk in breastfed infants. The practical application of the stable isotope technique, based on analysis of deuterium by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), is presented in this book.
The Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) are a set of evidence-based nutrient reference values for intakes that include the full range of age, gender, and life stage groups in the US and Canada. At the request of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Food and Drug Administration, Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine convened an ad hoc committee to carry out a literature search and evidence scan of the peer-reviewed published literature on indicators of nutritional requirements, toxicity, and chronic disease risk reduction for riboflavin. Scanning for New Evidence on Riboflavin to Support a Dietary Reference Intake Review builds on the methodology for evidence scanning nutrients (which have existing DRIs) to determine whether there is new and relevant knowledge available that may merit a formal reexamination of DRIs for riboflavin. This report offers comments on the methodological approach to the evidence scan and discusses its findings and interpretation of the process to provide the study sponsors with a greater context to support their interpretation and application of the reported results.

Learn how to better clinically serve risky adolescentsfrom the clients themselves!Clinical and Research Uses of an Adolescent Mental Health Intake Questionnaire: What Kids Need to Talk About explores the research on adolescent behavior culled from the answers to a clinician-designed intake questionnaire given to adolescent clients asking how they view their own risks, what they worry about, and what they wish to talk about. Respected authorities discuss the enlightening findings and present ways to reshape services, taking into account customer preference, risk and worry, and youth development (YD) perspectives while presenting practical clinical strategies to engage at-risk adolescents in mental health treatment.Clinical and Research Uses of an Adolescent Mental Health Intake Questionnaire: What Kids Need to Talk About provides conceptual models that practitioners and organizations can use to develop reflective practices and to understand better how to engage adolescent clients in treatment. The book includes three case studies that illustrate an organization’s experience in developing ways for organizational learning, including the clinicians’ own accounts of their experience in conducting practice-based research. Two chapters describe the development and the clinical uses of the intake questionnaire and offer guidelines for other practitioners to develop their own. The book discusses specific findings about adolescent risk, worries, and desire to talk across a wide range of psychosocial domains such as education and work, sex and sexuality, safety, substance abuse, and family and friends. Other research examines adolescent risk and vulnerability profiles of lesbians, gays, and bisexuals, as well as the impact of racism. Finally, the book builds upon this empirical analysis to address the clinical challenge of engaging risky adolescents in counseling.Clinical and Research Uses of an Adolescent Mental Health Intake Questionnaire: What Kids Need to Talk About analyzes: adolescent risks, worries, and coping adolescent help seeking and desire to talk in counseling youth development (YD) and adolescent vulnerability urban adolescents’ health and mental health concerns effectively engaging adolescents in counseling collaborative strategies for clinicians and managers reflectivity and learning in human service organizationsClinical and Research Uses of an Adolescent Mental Health Intake Questionnaire: What Kids Need to Talk About presents essential information for social workers, mental health professionals who work with adolescents, adolescent researchers, pediatricians and adolescent medicine practitioners, teachers, students, and youth workers.

This unique book provides a comprehensive review of the latest science on a key aspect of appetite control. It brings together contributions by leading researchers worldwide who approach this complex, multifaceted issue from a variety of differing perspectives, including those of food science, psychology, nutrition, and medicine, among others. It is well known that products that require greater oral processing tend to be more sating. At the same time, the orosensory exposure hypothesis holds that flavor and texture in the mouth are critical in determining meal-size. They may act as key predictors of nutritional benefits and so promote better processing of foods. These two related ideas are at the forefront of current thinking on flavor-satiety interactions. Yet, until Flavor, Satiety and Food Intake no book has offered an integrated treatment of both concepts. The only single-source reference of its kind, it brings health professionals, product developers, and students up to speed on the latest thinking and practices in this fascinating and important area of research. Provides readers with a unique and timely summary of critical recent developments in research on the impact of flavor on satietyExplores a topic of central importance both for food professionals seeking to develop healthier products and health professionals concerned with obesity and over-eatingBrings together relevant topics from the fields of food science, psychology, nutrition and medicine Flavor, Satiety and Food Intake provides product developers with valuable information on how to integrate sensory evaluation with product formulation and marketing. It will also serve as a useful resource for health professionals and is a must-read for students of a range of disciplines in which appetite and satiety are studied.
Malnutrition in Western Europe? The question seems incredible, yet one-fourth of the costs caused by nutrition-related illness result at least partly from micronutrient malnutrition. The experts in this book look for the answer among recently improved data about our changing lifestyles and eating habits. They suggest that reduced calorie intake is leading to critical micronutrient status in some population groups in Western Europe. The problem stems in part from the difficulty in estimating the milder stages of undernourishment, in part from the difficulty in believing that people suffer from poor nutrition in the midst of overconsumption. The chapters specifically examine the functional consequences of the present marginal nutritional deficiency. The authors are epidemiologists, nutritionists, chemists and physicians representing nine European countries. Their contributions paint a complete picture of international expertise on micronutrient malnutrition.
Sugar sensitive people might be low in specific neurochemicals that help us feel calm, centered, confident, and optimistic. Sugar is a drug that temporarily makes the sugar sensitive feel better, but with damaging consequences.Certainly, we all get a little airheaded when consuming lots of sugar, but a sugar sensitive person has a much harder reaction. To them, sugar makes all their nerve endings trip the light fantastic. They get much greater highs and collapses from the confectionery stuff.It's not simply an emotional alliance with sugar or refined foods that's the sole issue here. (As a side mention, I must state that emotional eating is a true and significant matter) Sugar addiction as delivered in this book likewise involves an actual physical need for sugar in order to feel great.Intriguing concepts, and I wonder: Am I real a sugar sensitive individual? Could I really be addicted to sugar?One effective way to ascertain if you're really addicted to sugar is to see how you feel if you don't have ANY sugar for a brief time. If you begin having withdrawal symptoms and then instantly feel better after consuming some sugar, you very well may be dealing with a physical dependence.A different test that may make you laugh (out of guilt) is the cookie test. Suppose you arrive home to discover a plate of warm, Toll House cookies sitting on the counter. No one else is about. You're not hungry. What do you do?Somebody who might have a heavy affinity for sugar would make a bee-line for the cookies and eat at least one, perhaps one-half the plate Those who don't get a charge from sweets might look at the cookies and consider trying one. They might check the mail ortelephone messages first. They might say, "I'm not hungry at present, so I'll wait till later." Their brains don't switch off at the sight and aroma of the cookies.The reason I joke is because I belong to the 1st group, without a doubt After finding out about sugar's drug-like effects and what a sugar addiction feels like, I must conclude that I'm indeed a sugar sensitive person.So, if you've ascertained you're really addicted to sugar, how do you break this addiction?
The diagnosis of Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) came out in the DSM in 2013, although many professionals would indicate that patients have presented with these symptoms for years. However, with the ARFID diagnosis, more doctors are recognizing feeding difficulties with the ARFID presentation as significant and are more actively providing treatment. Within inpatient and outpatient Adolescent Medicine Departments, psychiatry, psychology, occupational therapy and in nutrition, there has been a massive increase in ARFID referrals. This text utilizes a multidisciplinary approach to ARFID and gives practical treatment advice for addressing the topic. It aims to help readers learn about the ARFID subtypes and how these impact treatment best practices while also teaching them how to build a multidisciplinary team. There are many effective low-cost ARFID treatments that are not well known but highly valuable and could benefit practitioners and patients. The text is divided into two main sections. The first chapters focus on the disciplines that will most likely see patients with ARFID such as psychology, psychiatry, occupational therapy and nutrition, among others. The following section has chapters dealing with specific types of disordered eating behaviors such as sensory eaters, fearful eaters, and low interest eaters. Clinical cases relevant to inpatient and outpatient treatment are also highlighted. Written by experts in the field, Effective Treatment for Adolescents with Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder is a valuable resource to help improve the clinical skill set of healthcare clinicians dealing with diagnosis, particularly, physicians, therapists or psychologists, psychiatric providers, occupational therapists/speech pathologists, and dietitians.
