What accounts for the steady upward trend in U.S. sugar consumption?
All kinds of sugary foods and beverages taste delicious, cost little money, and are constantly available, making overconsumption extremely likely. More than 95 percent of the sugars in the U.S. diet are now added to foods and beverages by manufacturers, whereas very little sugar is added from the sugar bowl at home. Because sugar is prepackaged into foods, most consumers fail to realize just how much added sugar they take in each day.
