How much in calories,  is the average American's daily intake of
refined sugars, which includes high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup,
table sugar and so forth?

HEllo Jerry999,

The average American consumes an estimated 300-600 calories a day in
refined sugars.


From Friedman Nutrition Notes:

?On a given day, the typical American consumes 15 to 20 percent of
calories from refined sugar, twice the recommended amount. Based on a
2000-calorie diet, that?s equivalent to 300 to 400 calories per day-?

Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy

?An article done by Tufts University (2002) found that we average more
refined sugar in a single day (by between 300-400 calories worth) than
our prehistoric ancestors ate in an entire lifetime.?

According to the book "Healthy Habits" by Dave and Anne Frahm a
typical American consumes about 600 calories a day in refined sugars.

?Every year the typical American consumes between 120 and 150 pounds
of refined sugar. That translates to overone third of a pound a day,
600-plus calories of teeth-rotting, health destroying sweetness.?

?Last winter, a report published by the American Dietetic Association
called the average American's consumption of sugar excessive. Idiotic
might be a better word since the average American eats 6.4 ounces of
refined sugar per day or 153 pounds per year - more than one third of
which comes from beverages, primarily soft drinks.?
