The results partially confirmed the hypothesis as Coke had a significantly higher average glucose concentration than orange juice and milk, but not significantly higher glucose concentration than Gatorade and apple juice, therefore supporting the statement that Coke, Gatorade, and Apple Juice theoretically get the same amount of glucose into the bloodstream.
