I have read somewhere that the average American consumes 135 pounds of sugar each year! When I found that out I thought for sure, I was way below that... why as a family we only bought at most three bags of sugar each year... then I went on Atkins... and had to read the ingredient labels to avoid anything with sugar in it... I found there were only two things I could buy at the grocery store.... meat and paper towels... LOL...

Now, at the local 7-11's you can buy an Ultimate Big Gulp... 96oz of sugared soda... if there are 10 teaspoons of sugar in a 10 ounce can of soda... then this gargantuan terrorist attack on our insulin factory, would have 96 teaspoons of sugar... that's about one cup of sugar... yuck!
