Do you know how much sugar you’re eating every day? Most of us don’t but statistics estimate that the average American consumes between 90 and 180 POUNDS of sugar each year. POUNDS!

Let’s look at a visual of that. Here are some 5 pound bags of sugar. In an average year, you’ll enjoy 20 to 36 of them. Remember, these are the 5 pound bags that you pull out of the pantry to bake with. Try eating 20 of them.

But that’s not helpful, is it? You want to know how in the world that can happen. Where is all of this sugar coming from? Well here are some visuals. Please share this with everyone you know. It’s the best visual I’ve ever seen to show the amount of sugar in what we eat. Choose wisely!
