People who eat a diet high in fructose, in the form of added sugar, are at increased risk of developing high blood pressure, or hypertension, according to a study appearing in an upcoming issue of the Journal of the American Society Nephrology (JASN).
Average sugar consumption in Canada has decreased between 1997 and 2007 from 37.1 kg to 32.1 kg per person per year, which is good news in a way. Still on average Canadians consumes 88g or 22 teaspoons of sugar per person per day, that’s a lot of sugar.
Worse news is that this data does not include sugar in pre-prepared items, i.e. processed food and beverages. So in reality, how much sugar do we consume?
