Competing Interests
DCN, DAH, WS, RAS, AMK, and LCK have no conflicts of interest to report other than funding to the university from Dole Foods. NDG and FJ are scientists in the Dole Nutrition Research Laboratory, and were a part of the research team conducting this study. This does not alter the authors' adherence to all the PLoS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
