FIGURE 2.

Mean ± SE differences in the fat mass ratio between monozygotic co-twins who were discordant for intakes of different flavonoid subclasses. Bars represent differences between twins with higher intake and twins with lower intake for the whole cohort (open bars) and in twins <50 y old (shaded bars). Discordance was defined as a within-pair difference in intake ≥1 SD. Flavanone-rich foods were oranges (120 g), grapefruit (80 g) and fruit juice (160 g); anthocyanin-rich foods were berries (100 g), pears (170 g), grapes (80 g), and wine (125 mL); flavonol-rich foods were pears (170 g), tea (260 mL), and onions (60 g); flavone-rich foods were wine (125 mL), oranges (120 g), and peppers (80 g); and proanthocyanidin-rich foods were apples (100 g) and a cocoa beverage with milk (260 mL). *^,**For comparisons of twins with higher intake with twins with lower intake (paired sample t tests): *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01.
