Method of measuring artificial sweeteners in bodily waste to identify and quantify drug consumption

A method of tracking drug consumption comprising the steps of:

• a. obtaining a bodily waste sample from a subject, wherein the subject has consumed at least one drug composition, wherein each of the at least one drug composition comprises at least one of a plurality of unique drug tags, and wherein at least one of the plurality of unique drug tags comprises at least one artificial sweetener;
• b. creating an analysis of the bodily waste sample using techniques which determine an identity, a quantity, or both the identity and the quantity of the at least one artificial sweetener, an at least one reaction product of the at least one artificial sweetener, or a combination thereof;
• c. comparing the analysis of the bodily waste sample to at least one standard, wherein each of the at least one standard comprises an analysis of the at least one of the plurality of unique drug tags comprising at least one artificial sweetener or a reaction product of the at least one artificial sweetener;
• wherein each standard comprises an analysis of a different one of the plurality of unique drug tags comprising at least one artificial sweetener or the reaction product of the at least one artificial sweetener;
• d. identifying at least one matching standard, wherein each of the at least one matching standard comprises a standard which at least partially matches the analysis of the bodily waste sample;
• e. identifying the at least one artificial sweetener used to create each of the at least one matching standard;
• f. identifying the at least one of the plurality of unique drug tags which comprises the at least one artificial sweetener used to create the at least one matching standard;
• g. identifying the at least one drug composition which comprises the at least one of the plurality of unique drug tags identified in step “f”.
