1 SB–NEW includes all sweet beverages. 2 SB–CUR excludes 100% juices (no added sugar), milk beverages, and other beverages with added sugar or sweetener, as defined in Table 1. All results were weighted for sex, age, marital status, major area of Switzerland, nationality, and household size. The columns with % represent the contribution of the specific beverage consumption (g/day) to the total SSB–NEW consumption (g/day). The data were listed in ascending order, according to average intake (g/day). Differences in the mean values between SB–CUR and SB–NEW in all stratifies, were statistically significant as per ANOVA (p < 0.001).
