This study examined differences in dietary intake between ready-to-eat cereal eaters and non-eaters in adults from the United States. Participants (n = 5163) from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2015–2016 were included. One-day dietary recall was used to define ready-to-eat cereal consumption status and estimate dietary intake in eaters and non-eaters. Data from Food Patterns Equivalent Database 2015–2016 were used to compare intakes of food groups by consumption status. Diet quality was assessed by Healthy Eating Index 2015. Nineteen percent of US adults were ready-to-eat cereal eaters; they had a similar level of energy intake as non-eaters, but they had significantly higher intake of dietary fiber, and several vitamins and minerals, such as calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, zinc, vitamin A, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, folate, vitamin B12, and vitamin D. They were also more likely to meet nutrient recommendations. Compared to non-eaters, ready-to-eat cereal eaters had the same level of added sugar intake but they had significantly higher intake of whole grains, total fruits, and dairy products. The diet quality of ready-to-eat cereal eaters was significantly higher than that of non-eaters. The study supports that ready-to-eat cereal eaters have better dietary intake with a healthier dietary pattern than non-eaters in the United States.

It was hypothesized that when relative dietary intake of tryptophan per capita is low compared to certain other amino acids, less serotonin is formed in brain neurons, and suicide rates tend to be high. The hypothesis was supported for males and for both sexes combined.

The contribution of 100% fruit juice (FJ) to the total daily intakes of energy, sugars, and select vitamins and minerals and to the recommended dietary allowances (RDAs) or adequate intake (AI) of these micronutrients was assessed in individuals reporting the consumption of 100% FJ in the national dietary intake surveys of the United States (U.S.; n = 8661), the United Kingdom (UK; n = 2546) and Brazil (n = 34,003). Associations of 100% FJ intake with the odds of being overweight or obese also were assessed. Data from the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2013–2014), the UK National Diet and Nutrition Survey (2012–2014), and Brazil’s Pesquisa de Orçamentos Familiares (2008–2009) were used, and all analyses were limited to individuals reporting consumption of 100% FJ on at least one day of the dietary intake survey. Approximately 34%, 37%, and 42% of individuals surveyed reported the consumption of 100% FJ on at least one day of the dietary intake survey in the U.S., UK, and Brazil, respectively, and the average daily intakes of 100% FJ were 184 g, 130 g, and 249 g, respectively. Across the 3 countries, 100% FJ contributed to 3–6% of total energy intakes, 12–31% of total sugar intakes, 21–54% of total vitamin C intakes, 1–12% of total vitamin A intakes, 4–15% of total folate intakes, 7–17% of total potassium intakes, 2–7% of total calcium intakes, and 4–12% of total magnesium intakes. In a multivariate logistic regression model, juice intake was associated with a significant reduction in the odds of being overweight or obese in UK adults (OR = 0.79; 0.63, 0.99), and significant increases in the odds of being overweight or obese in UK children (OR = 1.16; 1.01, 1.33) and Brazilian adults (OR = 1.04; 1.00, 1.09). Nutrient contributions of 100% FJ vary according to regional intake levels. In all three countries studied, 100% FJ contributed to more than 5% of the RDAs for vitamin C and folate. In the U.S. and Brazil, 100% FJ contributed to more than 5% of the RDA for magnesium and more than 5% of the AI for potassium.

Abstract Objectives To examine the dietary intake patterns of South Asian adults by using three different assessment methods. Methods The participants were a convenience sample of 62 adults from South Asian descent, who lived in the United States and participated in a community-based diabetes self-management program. Dietary intake data were collected through Automated Self-Administered 24-Hour Dietary Assessment Tool (ASA24), self-administered Diet History Questionnaire III (self-DHQ), and researcher-administered DHQ III (res-DHQ) (National Cancer Institute). Thirty-seven participants completed ASA24 and self-DHQ back-to-back during in-person sessions, and 25 participants completed res-DHQ through video conferencing sessions with the researcher. Group level data were examined using IBM SPSS Statistics software. Results On average, participants’ daily energy intake levels were estimated to be 805.8 ± 551.3, 1686.4 ± 985.9 and 1469.7 ± 887.5 kcal/d by self-DHQ, ASA24, and res-DHQ, respectively. Self-DHQ produced the lowest of the estimates (mean ± SD) for daily protein (28.9 ± 18.8 vs 63.1 ± 35.2, and 53.1 ± 27.9 g/d), carbohydrate (106.4 ± 68.0 vs 224.9 ± 128.4 and 199.9 ± 119.7 g/d), and total fat (31.7 ± 29.2 vs. 63.5 ± 46.5 and 56.2 ± 40.9 g/d) intakes in comparison to ASA24 and res-DHQ, respectively. Conclusions In this study, self-administered DHQ produced substantially lower estimates of daily macronutrient and energy intake levels. The ASA24 or researcher-administered DHQ were relatively more reliable methods of dietary assessment in this sample of South Asian adults.
