“…), media, and other environmental effects (food access and advertisements) (reviewed in Beckerman et al, 2017). Therefore, it is important to strengthen the implementation of the International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes (World Health Organization, 2018) and introduce restrictions on marketing of unhealthy foods to children, covering all media, including digital, and to close any regulatory loopholes, as current evidence indicates that child-directed advertising has a major impact on children's diets (Tatlow-Golden et al, 2016;World Health Organization, 2016;Emond et al, 2019). Building combined and well-coordinated interventions encompassing all these target areas is essential in managing successful nutrition programs (reviewed in Beckerman et al, 2017).…”

Genetic Background of Taste Perception, Taste Preferences, and Its Nutritional Implications: A Systematic Review

2019

Background: The rise in nutrition-related morbidity and mortality requires public health intervention programs targeting nutritional behavior. In addition to socio-economical, socio-cultural, psychological determinants, taste is one of the main factors that influence food choices. Differences in taste perception and sensitivity may be explained by genetic variations, therefore the knowledge of the extent to which genetic factors influence the development of individual taste preferences and eating patterns is important for public policy actions addressing nutritional behaviors. Our aim was to review genetic polymorphisms accounting for variability in taste and food preferences to contribute to an improved understanding of development of taste and food preferences. Methods: The electronic databases PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched using MeSH in PubMed and free text terms for articles published between January 1, 2000 and April 13, 2018. The search strategy was conducted following the PRISMA statement. The quality of the included studies was assessed by the validated Q-Genie tool. Results: Following the PRISMA flowchart, finally 103 articles were included in the review. Among the reviewed studies, 43 were rated to have good quality, 47 were rated to have moderate quality, and 13 were rated to have low quality. The majority of the studies assessed the association of genetic variants with the bitter taste modality, followed by articles analyzing the impact of polymorphisms on sweet and fat preferences. The number of studies investigating the association between umami, salty, and sour taste qualities and genetic polymorphisms was limited. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that a significant association exists between TAS2R38 variants (rs713598, rs1726866, rs10246939) and bitter and sweet taste preference. Other confirmed results are related to rs1761667 (CD36) and fat taste responsiveness. Otherwise further research is essential to confirm results of studies related to genetic variants and individual taste sensitivity. This knowledge may enhance our understanding

“…Data were from a community-based, prospective cohort study of preschool-age children to identify factors associated with preschool children's dietary intake. 21 Participants were recruited March 2014 to October 2015 from community sites in two New Hampshire, US cities; Facebook and participant referrals were also used. Eligible children were aged 3 to 5 years with no health condition impacting food intake and who lived with the enrolled parent at least 3 days a week or alternate weeks.…”

“…Parents reported their child's usual TV (regular, cable, or satellite) and other screen time (DVDs/VHS, streaming, apps, Internet use, or electronic games) at baseline as the number of days per week and hours per day spent on each activity; responses were multiplied to compute hours per week . Parents also reported if their child watched advertisement‐supported children's TV (yes vs no), and if the child had a TV in his/her bedroom (yes vs no).…”

Summary Background Fast food is cross‐sectionally associated with having overweight and obesity in young children. Objectives To examine whether fast food intake independently contributes to the development of overweight and obesity among preschool‐age children. Methods Prospective cohort of 3‐ to 5‐year‐old children (n = 541) followed for 1 year. Children's height and weight were objectively measured at baseline and study end. Parents reported their child's fast food intake frequency in the past week from 11 chain fast food restaurants in six online follow‐up surveys, completed approximately 8 weeks apart. Poisson regression with robust standard errors modelled the risk of a child increasing in weight status (ie, transitioning from a having a healthy weight to having overweight or from having overweight to having obesity) over the study period in relation to their average weekly fast food intake, adjusted for sociodemographics, child obesogenic behaviours, and parent weight status. Results At baseline, 18.1% of children had overweight and 9.8% had obesity; 8.1% of children transitioned to a greater weight status over the 1‐year period. Mean fast food intake frequency among consumers was 2.1 (SD: 1.4) times per week. The risk of increasing in weight status increased linearly with each additional time fast food was consumed in an average week over the study year (RR: 1.38; 95% CI, 1.13‐1.67; P < .01). Conclusions Greater fast food intake over 1 year was associated with increasing weight status during that time in this preschool‐age cohort.

“…A 2014 analysis of cold cereals sold in the United States found that 92% of cereals had added sugar, and that all cereals that were marketed to children contained added sugar. On average, children's cereals have 40% more sugar than cereals marketed to adults and may contain more sugar than cookies (22). Television advertising of high-sugar breakfast cereals that is directed at children has been positively associated with higher intake of high-sugar cereals (23).…”

Disparities in Sources of Added Sugars and High Glycemic Index Foods in Diets of US Children, 2011–2016

What is already known on this topic? Added sugars and high glycemic index (GI) foods may contribute to the development of cardiometabolic conditions. No studies have investigated whether or not there are racial/ethnic differences in the consumption of top sources of added sugars or high GI foods among children. What is addressed by this article? Our study determined whether the consumption of top sources of added sugars and high GI foods among children in the United States differed by race/ethnicity. What are the implications for public health practice? Products with hidden added sugars contribute greatly to added sugar intake. High GI food intake was highest among Asian Americans for whom rice is a staple. Findings underscore the need to account for sociocultural differences when creating dietary modification strategies.
