Retraction to: European Journal of Clinical Nutrition https://doi.org/10.1038/s41430-019-0438-5, published online 14 May 2019
The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised regarding unlikely values and inconsistencies in the data presented in Tables 2-4. Additionally, the study is presented as a randomised controlled trial (RCT), although no information is provided regarding the participant randomisation, and the study design does not appear to follow an RCT protocol. Further checks by the publisher found irrelevant references and text inconsistencies in the article.
The Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer has confidence in the presented data.
The authors have not responded to any correspondence from the editor or publisher about this retraction.
