Though On The Decline, Sugar Is Still King In The American Diet

August 25, 2009: 09:48 AM EST
Are American consumers taking seriously messages from groups like the American Heart Association who warn that added sugar intake should be limited to between 100 and 150 calories a day, about the caloric content of a 12-oz. can of Coke? Maybe, since statistics from various sources show that carbonated soft drink sales fell in 2007 (2.3 percent) and again in 2008 (3 percent). But despite a growing trend away from sugary sodas to juices, teas, and vitamin waters, fully a third of the sugar consumed each year in the United States comes from regular soft drinks.
