> US sugar consumption declined from 2000-2020 to 1970s levels I think this is added sugar only. It wouldn't surprise me if actual sugar consumption reduction were tempered compared to the linked graph. Hell, actual sugar consumption may have even increased. It's certainly far easier to get (fairly high-sugar) juice now than when I was a child. |

What? Excuse me!?? This comment is just flooring me.
I am on my 40s, so I was born in the early 80s. Back in the 80s children were expected to drink juice, and LOTS of it. It was considered a health food for kids.
Juice came in frozen concentrate and WIC paid for it. Every family had juice, every younger (1-12 yr old) kid was expected to consume juice every single day. Grocery store freezer sections were PACKED with it, I remember being memorized by all the colors of the packaging.
I don't know anyone who feeds their children juice like I was fed it growing up. Even when people allow their kids juice now it's "eh, it's not healthy but at least it's better than soda."
