Urinary Sweeteners and Sugars in Relation to Childhood Obesity: The SWEET Project
Urinary saccharin and sucralose were positively associated with indicators of general and abdominal obesity in children and adolescents, whereas total urinary sugar, glucose, and fructose showed inverse associations. These findings likely reflect differences in dietary patterns of children and adolescents according to weight status, as misreporting can be excluded because of the use of biomarkers.
