Table 1.

Absolute frequency of individual food samples regarding the convergent and divergent results.

Food Group Food Samples (n) Convergence/Divergence
Total
fx1 fx2 fx3
Fruits 421 74 115 40 229
Vegetables 1020 93 104 116 313
Others 338 24 56 34 114
Total 1779 191 275 190 656

Note: fx1 = all articles converge in showing a significant difference for a particular parameter of a specific food; fx2 = all articles converge in showing no significant difference for a certain parameter of a specific food; and fx3 = all articles showed divergence in the significant difference for a certain parameter of a specific food.
