“Here’s the not-so-sweet truth: Sugar is the “new” fat.
Despite 40 years of thinking that excess fat caused disease and obesity, it turns out that sugar (especially the kind hidden in processed foods) is what makes us sick and overweight. The average American consumes about 152 pounds of sugar a year. That’s roughly 22 teaspoons every day for every person in America. And our kids consume about 34 teaspoons every day (more than two 20-ounce sodas!) making nearly one in four teenagers pre-diabetic or diabetic. It. Has. To. Stop.” Mark Hyman MD
