Competing Interests
I have read the journal’s policy and the authors of this manuscript have the following competing interests: A company (KAGOME CO., LTD.) established a department at Hirosaki University in Japan. The company is engaged in a health-promoting business. Two authors (Daichi Kokubu and Yusuke Ushida) are employees of the company. Two authors hold stock in the company. This study reflects the views of the scientists, not the company. This does not alter our adherence to PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
