Sweet food consumption: Comparison of the impacts of sweet and non-sweet food consumption
Decrease Sweet Food Consumption
Participants are asked to decrease their consumption of sweet foods throughout their diet. Participants will be supported through an individual dietary interview where sweet foods will be highlighted and substitutions for sweet food consumption will be recommended.
