Competing Interests
Vincent van Hees, who led on this manuscript, was funded by a BBSRC industry-CASE studentship. This studentship came with funding from both the BBSRC and an industry partner, Unilever Discover Ltd in this case (http://www.bbsrc.ac.uk/web/FILES/Guidelines/studentship_handbook.pdf). Unilever Discover Ltd had no involvement in the study as presented and was only informed about progress and final results. This does not alter the authors' adherence to all the PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
