*
Adjusted for group differences in age, sex, and self-reported weekly energy expenditure from physical activity.
Values in a row for each group that do not have a shared superscript are significantly different (P < 0.05).
F + AB = food + all beverages; F + CB = food + caloric beverages; FO = food only.
