I saw this story on Science Daily, this popped out for me there;
Quote:

Dr Isabel Garcia-Perez, co-author from the Faculty of Medicine at Imperial explained: "We need to develop the test further so we can monitor the diet based on a single urine sample, as well as increase the sensitivity. This will eventually provide a tool for personalised dietary monitoring to help maintain a healthy lifestyle. We're not at the stage yet where the test can tell us a person ate 15 chips yesterday and two sausages, but it's on the way."

I really doubt that this statement about sooner or later knowing how many sausages a person ate the day before is true. Diet recall has high resolution with adherence, but poor adherence. This will have lower resolution, but adherence to peeing in a cup is a little easier to judge. I guess it might increase adherence to a diet if subjects believe the urinalysis gives more information than it does. And taken together, researchers could see whether the reported foods eaten are plausible. |
