| BMI (kg/M2) | Baseline | 26.26 ± 3.16 | 26.52 ± 3.33 | 25.66 ± 3.14 | 26.75 ± 3.51 | 26.27 ± 3.29 |

| Total Cholesterol (mg/dL) | Baseline | 175.33 ± 41.67 | 181.26 ± 40.84 | 176.28 ± 39.35 | 176.75 ± 36.43 | 177.39 ± 39.44 |
| Week 10 | 179.98 ± 41.96 | 180.72 ± 35.53 | 176.16 ± 42.30 | 184.33 ± 39.96 | 180.10 ± 39.98 * | |

| CRP (mg/L) | Baseline | 1.92 ± 2.10 | 1.74 ± 1.74 | 1.21 ± 1.43 | 1.74 ± 1.78 | 1.63 ± 1.77 |

Note: HFCS—High fructose corn syrup, LDL—Low Density Lipoprotein, CRP—C Reactive Protein. All Groups consumed sugar sweetened, low-fat milk in amounts that the added sugar contributed 9% (fructose and glucose groups) or 18% (sucrose and HFCS groups) of the calories required for the participant to maintain weight. * Significant difference pre vs. post in the entire study population p < 0.01; ** p < 0.001.
