A quote I found interesting:

Others, says Schmidt, dropped out because they found it hard to stick
to the no-sweets diet: "We didn't expect this to be such a big
problem, but a considerable number of patients left the study because
they were unable or unwilling to renounce soft drinks, chocolate and
so on."
