sizes from national data are often used by researchers while actual portions are often much larger, and therefore include more calories. Finally, data on the food sources of nutrients are not publicly available. Current data describes food item sales yet nutrient quantities are not available for each item, preventing determination of company and food item sources of nutrient intake. To successfully improve the food environment and promote health through diet, measurement of dietary intake quality and supply must be improved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
