Is the use of low-calorie sweeteners associated with self-reported prior intent to lose weight in a representative sample of US adults?
LCS use was associated with self-reported intent to lose weight during the previous 12 months. This association was only partially mediated by differences in BMI. Any inference of causality between attempts at weight control and LCS use is tempered by the cross-sectional nature of these data and retrospective self-reports of prior weight loss/maintenance intent.
Children with picky eating habits, especially those younger than 3 years of age, are at increased risk of being underweight.
