The validation of the sugar biomarker in a free-living population with three different dietary assessment methods and its comparable ranking ability with a good recovery biomarker (i.e., protein biomarker) have important research applications. The biomarker may be used for validating dietary assessment methods, for monitoring compliance in human feeding studies, for monitoring the effect of public health interventions, and as a surrogate for ranking subjects according to sucrose intake when information on sucrose in food composition databases is lacking.
