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. SD in parenthesis. All results were weighted for sex, age, marital status, major area of Switzerland, nationality, and household size. German-speaking region refers to canton Aargau, Basel-Land, Basel-Stadt, Bern, Lucerne, St. Gallen, and Zurich; French-speaking region refers to canton Geneva, Jura, Neuchatel, and Vaud; and Italian-speaking region refers to canton Ticino. The columns with % report the contribution of each beverage to the total sugar and energy intake of all foods and drinks—mean—(first line of the table). The data were listed in ascending order, according to average intake (g/day). Differences in the mean values between the SB–CUR and SB–NEW definition, in all stratifies, were statistically significant, as per ANOVA (p < 0.001).
