Re: in my life ive eaten too much sugar

The Sugar Consumption to Diabetes Connection:

I read an article that sugar consumption per person in the UK in the 1600's was about 7 lbs./yr. and that by the 1850's in the USA it was about 52 lbs/yr and that in the USA today (2003) it is some where around 150 lbs/yr. In other words:
1600's = 7 lb/52 wk = 0.135 lb/wk; = 17.46 tsp/wk; = 2.50 tsp/day
1850's = 52 lb/52wk = 1.0 lb/wk.; = 129.7 tsp/wk ; = 18.53 tsp/day
2003 = 150 lb/52wk = 3.0 lb/wk. ; = 389.1 tsp/wk ; = 55.59 tsp/day! [ 0.43 lb/day!] Article #1 below suggests 10 teaspoons per day.
(Updated: 12/05
"The density of granulated sugar is 0.7 g/cc." and 1 lb. =
454 g/lb x 1 cc x 1 mL x 1 tsp = 129.71 tsp
0.7 g 1 cc 5 mL lb. so that = 1 tsp sugar = 3.5 g.

Re: in my life ive eaten too much sugar

God I know we all eat to much sugar. When I go shopping I read the labels. It is almost impossible to buy anything prepackaged that doesn't have sugar of some kind in it. I try to avoid prepackaged processed foods. And when buying juices I always check the label most juices are only 20% juice the rest is pure sugar. It is insane the amount of sugar most people eat on a daily basis and alot of people aren't even aware of it.....so sad

i'm refering (sp) to "man-made" products. naturally, sugar is in all fruits, but i prefer eating 10 bananas than having corn syrup.

Holy crap!!! That's insane!!!

Wow! Half a lb. a day almost! I'm doing the math....that's 193 grams of sugar a day! I guess that's feasible on average? Does seem like a lot though.
