Live healthy and long

From the future of health now infographics

This post shows the huge amount of sugar an ordinary person consumes on a periodic basis.  And the culprit is mainly soda drink which contains about 10 tsps of sugar.  That is a lot. Every 5 days, an average American consume 120 lbs of sugar every 5 days.  Wow.  That is unbelievable. (But the average soda consumption per capita is 55 gallons!!)

The American Heart Association recommends no more than 9.5 tsps of sugar per day for optimal health.  But the real consumption in USA is 22 tsp for adult, and 55 tsp for children.  No wonder, obesity and diabetes is becoming such a big problem in USA.
