Mean proportion of larger-later (LL) choices as a function of percentage of calories consumed from sugar and delay (A) and magnitude (B) ratio in humans. The delay and magnitude ratios were the SS / LL delay or magnitude, respectively. Smaller ratios indicate a larger difference in the delays or magnitudes. Error bars (+/− SEM) were computed with respect to the estimated marginal means of the fitted generalized linear mixed-effects model. There was a significant interaction between percentage of calories from added sugar and delay ratio, such that delay sensitivity increased from lower to higher amounts of added sugar. People who consume more added sugar had a greater preference for the larger magnitude when the magnitudes were maximally different. Magnitude sensitivity increased as percentage of calories from added sugar went from lower to higher amounts of sugar.
