Nutritional data and body weight.

Treatment: water (W), regular (C), or light cola drinking (L) for 6 months. Wash-out: switch from both caloric and non-caloric soft drink to tap water for additional 6 months. Values are mean ± SD. Calculations based on: a). Kcal/g or mL: 3 (food), 0.42 (Cola) and 0.01 (Light cola); b). Na+ mg/g or mL: 2 (food), 0.075 (Cola or Light cola). * p<0.05 ** p<0.01 *** p<0.001 vs. W at the end of the corresponding period (i.e.: treatment or wash-out) # p<0.01 vs. respective group after treatment.
