Sweeteners have been declining in our diets since 1999, but have remained steadfast as a very large portion, totaling more than 100 pounds annually

Per capita annual consumption of sweeteners in food and beverages, in pounds

Per capita deliveries of sweeteners by U.S. processors and refiners and direct-consumption imports to food manufacturers, retailers, and other end users represent the per capita supply of caloric sweeteners. The data exclude deliveries to manufacturers of alcoholic beverages. Actual human intake of caloric sweeteners is lower because of uneaten food, spoilage, and other losses.
