  1. *Note: adjustments made for baseline values of all variables. Pair-wise p-values reflect Scheffe adjustment for multiple comparisons. aParticipants reported frequency of beverage intake as part of a questionnaire on eating patterns. Ounces were estimated based on frequency of consumption and reported usual portion size (12 oz. can, 20 oz. bottle, etc.). ǂ P < 0.05, ǂǂP < 0.01, ǂǂǂP < 0.0001
