Sugar Sugar Sugar

I recently watched the video How Much Sugar Do Americans Eat? By internet fitness guru Davey Wavey. In this video he not only tells us about how much sugar Americans eat, and the effects that it can cause to our bodies, but also gives a visual about how much we eat. Which seemed to display his his point a lot more.

We see that in 1822 the average American consumed about the amount of sugar that's in one can of coca-cola every five days. Now the average Americans consumes about 17 cans every five days. The adult will consume 22 tsp, while the child will eat 32 tsp  The calories from all that sugar is the equivalence of  a plate of bacon. I don't know if you've ever cooked or eaten bacon but it goes down pretty heavy. Now after you add all this up and then math clears out your eating roughly 132 lbs of sugar a year, which is like eating a small human in sugar.

Now you still my not be shocked but sugar as Davey explains it "has no nutrition value" It doesn't  help your body in any way, shape, or form. It just sits there in your body to bubble into nice delicious fat. Chew on that for a little while.
