Public health advice is that breastmilk, water, cows' milk or another animal milk should be the main drink for young children from age 1 onwards. Manufacturers claim that GUM are an effective medium to deliver nutrients to young children, especially vitamin D, calcium and iron, which are commonly used to fortify GUM. But GUM are advised against, mainly due to their high free sugars content. UK data show that GUM are the main source of free sugars among those 12- to 18-month-old children who consume them, accounting for half of their total free sugars intake [&lt;span&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;]. In 2011, 36% of children in this age group were GUM consumers. That figure is likely to have risen, because GUM sales are increasing worldwide. Globally, there was a more than twofold increase in GUM sales per child born, from 2005 through 2019 [&lt;span&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;]. In the context of increasing overweight and obesity and high levels of dental decay in young children, increasing GUM sales represent a worrying trend. While marketing of infant formula suitable from 0 to 12 months is strictly regulated in many regions, GUM marketing for children over 12 months has very few restrictions. This is despite World Health Organization recommendations that inappropriate marketing of all commercial milk formulas aimed at children &lt; 36 months old should be prohibited. The lack of regulations means that manufacturers are able to market GUM using misleading nutrition and health claims and in ways which cross-promote infant formula.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One GUM product category that has received much attention recently and appears to be growing in popularity is plant-based GUM. The increase in availability of plant-based GUM reflects a shift in consumption patterns in the general population—away from cows' milk, towards plant-based alternatives [&lt;span&gt;3&lt;/span&gt;]. The nutrient content of plant-based GUM is a cause for concern. Some of the highest-sugar GUM available are plant-based, and a lack of labelling regulation means that consumers are often not aware of the high free sugars content. Indeed, plant-based GUM marketing may misleadingly suggest these products are low in sugar. For example, most oat milks contain free sugars, which are produced by the processing of the oats, where naturally present starch is broken down into sweet-tasting free sugars. This means that an oat milk can claim to have ‘no added sugars’, while containing even more free sugars than a standard cows' milk–based GUM.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Plant-based GUM have low nutritional value in terms of protein concentration or quality and certain micronutrients, compared with animal milks [&lt;span&gt;3&lt;/span&gt;]. Thus, their role in young child feeding is uncertain, but there are clear health hazards associated with many plant-based GUM. In parallel with the shift towards plant-milk consumption, there is widesp","PeriodicalId":10207,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and Experimental Allergy","volume":"54 11","pages":"852-854"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cea.14589","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142603443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Endotyping is important to identify patients who will benefit most from certain therapies [&lt;span&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;]. Previously, we stratified AD patients into four clusters, of which two were defined as Type 2(T2)-dominant and the other two as T2 non-dominant [&lt;span&gt;2, 3&lt;/span&gt;]. As dupilumab specifically targets the T2 pathway by inhibiting IL-4/IL-13 signalling, it is often assumed that patients assigned to a T2-dominant cluster would respond better to dupilumab. This study investigated serum protein profiles in AD patients with different responses to dupilumab and assessed the role of serum proteins in predicting treatment response.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Adult dupilumab-treated AD patients participating in the BioDay- or TREATgermany registries, and who provided written informed consent for data extraction, were screened for inclusion. Both registries are prospective, containing daily practice data regarding novel therapies for AD (ClinicalTrials.gov identifiers BioDay/TREAT:NCT03549416/NCT03057860) and have ethics committee approval (BioDay:METC 18-239/TREAT:No. EK TUD 118032016). Included patients, all with a baseline Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) ≥ 12, were categorised based on their treatment response at the first follow-up visit (12–16 weeks) compared to baseline as follows: improvement of the EASI of at least 90% (EASI ≥ 90), improvement of at least 75% but less than 90% (EASI ≥ 75) and improvement less than 50% (EASI &lt; 50). Additionally, the EASI was collected after 24–28 and 52 weeks of treatment. For each patient, concentrations of 60 candidate AD biomarker proteins were measured in baseline serum samples and for a subgroup of patients at 12–16 weeks by using Luminex technology. Baseline protein concentrations were compared between response groups and clusters were defined using principal component analysis followed by K-means clustering. Random forest (RF) models trained on baseline data were used to assess cluster stability during treatment and to determine if treatment response can be predicted.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A total of 127 patients were selected, with a median age of 46.7 years (IQR: 31.4–60.3) and median baseline EASI of 19.4 (IQR: 15.6–27.3).

A RF model trained to predict treatment response achieved an accuracy of only 35%, suggesting that the measured baseline proteins are not predictive of response in our cohort.
