Coefficients can be interpreted as the change in the percent of grocery expenditure (volume purchased, mL/d) on each type of beverage respect to the total purchases of beverages. Changes with presence of different family members by age and gender, presence of children, race/ethnicity and income are shown. Results for other predictors are shown in Table 3S.

LCS, low-caloric sweetened beverages or foods; CS, caloric-sweetened beverages or foods.
