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.
