Genetic and phenotypic correlations with 95% CIs between the intake of total sugars and sweets and BMI in the UK Biobank sample¹

		Intake of sweets	BMI
Genetic correlations	Intake of total sugars, g/d	−0.27 (−0.85, 0.32)	−0.23 (−0.29, −0.17)
	Intake of sweets, handfuls/d	—	0.67 (−0.27, 1.00)
Phenotypic correlations	Intake of total sugars, g/d	0.34 (0.33, 0.35)	−0.04 (−0.04, −0.03)
	Intake of sweets, handfuls/d	—	0.09 (0.07, 0.10)

¹Genetic correlations were calculated using genome-wide association summary results and LD score regression. BMI in kg/m².
