That data is odd............or is it only white granulated sugar, sucrose?
From the same source:
"Sugar Consumption In The U.S.
The
United States is the biggest consumer of sugar on the globe. According to sources, the country's per capita sugar consumption is 126.4 grams daily. That translates to more than ten times the lowest recommended intake of 11grams per day. According to health scientists, a significant percentage of this sugar is contained in these Americans' foods and beverages.
And these added sugars may take different forms, including white/ brown sugar, honey, high fructose corn syrup, sucrose, dextrose, molasses, etc.
Though the federal government urged Americans to limit the amount added to only 10%, the effect of this recommendation has remained insignificant up to date."
