Why should we reduce sugar consumption?

Overconsumption of sugar is the cause of many illnesses.
Facts about overconsumption of sugar and obesity:
• 39% of all adults worldwide are overweight
• 42% of the U.S. population is obese
• The average American consumes 17-19 tsp of sugar per day. That’s over double the recommended intake.
• People with BMI>40 are nearly three times greater risk of dying from COVID19, than those of normal weight
• 13.7 million Children and Adolescents (18.5%) are obese in the US
• More than 34 million Americans have diabetes (about 1 in 10), and approximately 90-95% of them have type 2 diabetes
• An estimated $149 billion is spent annually on health issues associated with obesity.
