1. Assessment of sugar intake by our short questionnaire has been shown to agree well with its assessment by the conventional method in which subjects keep a 7-day diary of their diets. 2. People who have had a myocardial infarct, or are suffering from peripheral vascular disease, tend to reduce their intake of sugar. We believe this is the reason why investigators making dietary studies several months, or years, after infarction have not found the relatively high sugar consumption in patients with infarction that we had reported earlier. 3. The most suitable method for ascertaining dietary intake depends both on the constituent or constituents to be examined, and on the purpose of the investigation.
