a)

Polyphenol subclasses included in the Polyphenol Explorer® database

b)

Values are means ± SD.

c)

Foods contributing to the top 5% of each polyphenol subclass calculated from 3-day diet records. When there was less than three foods contributing to the top 5% of each polyphenol subclass, up to the top three food sources were included. Percent contribution = mg polyphenols per food/total mg polyphenols per day. Calculations based on eight men per group.
