According to a recent study, the average American consumes over 36,000 grams of sugar per year.
The poll of 2,000 Americans found that the average person ingests 99 grams of sugar per day, which is more sugar than what’s in two twelve-ounce cans of soda. Over the span of a year, that totals to nearly 80 Ibs of sugar.
Conducted by Talker research on behalf of Hint Water, the survey looked to uncover Americans’ habits regarding sugar consumption and the surprising way sugar has impacted their hydration levels.
According to results, the majority of respondents (85%) are actively working to reduce their sugar intake. Which makes sense considering that 34% of respondents admitted the majority of their liquid intake on a regular day comes in their morning coffee. Twenty-eight percent say their liquid intake is mostly made up of soda.
