HFS High Fat and Sugar Group, LFS Low Fat and Sugar Group, OMN omnivorous, VEG vegetarian. P-values are indicated for standard 2-sample t.test for numeric variables and for chi-squared tests of independence for categorical variables. Statistical comparison of the nutrients (except energy) was conducted with the residuals of the energy-adjusted values
