According to a recent study, the average American consumes over 36,000 grams of sugar per year.<br /><br />The poll of 2,000 Americans found that the average person ingests 99 grams of sugar per day, which is more sugar than what’s in two twelve-ounce cans of soda. Over the span of a year, that totals to nearly 80 Ibs of sugar.<br /><br />Conducted by Talker research on behalf of Hint Water, the survey looked to uncover Americans’ habits regarding sugar consumption and the surprising way sugar has impacted their hydration levels.<br /><br />According to results, the majority of respondents (85%) are actively working to reduce their sugar intake. Which makes sense considering that 34% of respondents admitted the majority of their liquid intake on a regular day comes in their morning coffee. Twenty-eight percent say their liquid intake is mostly made up of soda.
