1
Values are means ± SDs. HFCS, high-fructose corn syrup.
2
All variables (excepting HFCS in beverage): P > 0.05 for differences among groups at baseline (general linear model ANOVA with HFCS-group as categorical variable: SAS 9.3).
3
Energy requirement calculated by the Mifflin equation with 1.5 adjustment for physical activity.
