Michael Jacobson, executive director of the CSPI, thinks it's a major factor — and perhaps the entire reason — for the drop in sweetener consumption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The American Beverage Association, the trade group for Coke and Pepsi, says soda isn't the driver of obesity rates, since those levels have climbed as soda drinking has declined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gary Taubes, a science author, believes the influx of sweeteners and refined carbohydrates in diets has likely fueled obesity, but notes there's ambiguity in the evidence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Cristin Kearns, a former dentist who has been uncovering documents showing the sugar industry's influence on nutrition science, noted that \"manufacturers are getting crafty\" about the types of sweeteners they use, such as juice concentrate, meaning they might not show up in consumption figures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As sugar comes under fire, food companies are using sophisticated new methods to reduce sweeteners without sacrificing sweetness. Consider the use of \"sweet taste boosters\" that amplify smaller amounts of sweeteners. The ingredients are listed as \"artificial flavors\" on packages, according to Senomyx, a California company that makes them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year, MycoTechnology began making a \"bitter blocker\" that reduces the need for sweeteners that mask bitterness. The Colorado company says it is made from a mushroom extract and can be listed as a \"natural flavor.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some companies have also switched back to \"real sugar\" to give their products a more wholesome image, even though there may be no difference in calories. While the overall decline in sweeteners reflects the drop in high-fructose corn syrup, the consumption of refined sugar has actually edged up in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In that small regard, sugar is enjoying a revival.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/stateofhealth/239326/americans-are-consuming-less-sugar-with-decline-in-soda-intake","authors":["byline_stateofhealth_239326"],"categories":["stateofhealth_2746","stateofhealth_1"],"tags":["stateofhealth_2923","stateofhealth_2925","stateofhealth_2808","stateofhealth_2519","stateofhealth_580","stateofhealth_161"],"featImg":"stateofhealth_25224","label":"stateofhealth"},"stateofhealth_236447":{"type":"posts","id":"stateofhealth_236447","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"stateofhealth","id":"236447","score":null,"sort":[1473705447000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"sugar-industry-funded-1960s-harvard-research-that-blamed-heart-disease-on-fat","title":"Sugar Industry Funded 1960s Harvard Research That Blamed Heart Disease on Fat","publishDate":1473705447,"format":"standard","headTitle":"State of Health | KQED News","labelTerm":{"site":"stateofhealth"},"content":"\u003cp>The sugar industry began funding research that cast doubt on sugar's role in heart disease — in part by pointing the finger at fat — as early as the 1960s, according to an analysis of newly uncovered documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The analysis published Monday is based on correspondence between a sugar trade group and researchers at Harvard University, and is the latest example showing how food and beverage makers attempt to shape public understanding of nutrition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1964, the group now known as the Sugar Association internally discussed a campaign to address \"negative attitudes toward sugar\" after studies began emerging linking sugar with heart disease, according to documents dug up from public archives.

Those who tamed their sweet tooth, by contrast, were taking in about 160 calories a day from sugar — or about 10 teaspoons per day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unfortunately, most Americans have a sugar habit that is pushing toward the danger zone.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The average American is consuming 22 teaspoons a day. That's about three times what's recommended,\" says Laura Schmidt of the U.C. San Francisco School of Medicine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, we should point out, we're not talking fruit here. Researchers did not include the sugar naturally occurring in fruit or milk. Instead, the study focused specifically on the risks of \u003cem>added \u003c/em>sugar — the refined sugars and corn syrups added to foods such as baked goods and sugary sodas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, how much \u003cem>added\u003c/em> sugar is OK?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For starters, the American Heart Association \u003ca href=\"http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/GettingHealthy/NutritionCenter/HealthyDietGoals/Sugars-and-Carbohydrates_UCM_303296_Article.jsp\" target=\"_blank\">advises\u003c/a> that women consume no more than 6 teaspoons of sugar daily. This is about 100 calories. And men, no more than 9 teaspoons, or about 150 calories from sugar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The World Health Organization says people should get no more than 10 percent of their daily calories from sugar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the last time the federal government weighed in on sugar was in the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2014/02/04/271130613/2010%20version%20of%20the%20Dietary%20Guidelines\" target=\"_blank\">2010 Dietary Guidelines\u003c/a>, which make only a broad recommendation to reduce consumption of added sugar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So how best to reduce sugar?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some steps are fairly obvious. For example, eliminating one 12-ounce can of sugar-sweetened soda can cut about 9 teaspoons of sugar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But other common sources of added sugar can take you by surprise. For example, this morning I ate a small, 4-ounce cup of low-fat organic peach yogurt. I chalked it up as a very healthy breakfast, but when I looked at the nutrition label, it had 17 grams of sugar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You just shot most of your wad\" for the day, Schmidt points out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, yeah, swap those sweetened yogurts for plain yogurt. A typical 6-ounce serving of vanilla yogurt has about 6 teaspoons of sugar — which is about as much as a regular size \u003ca href=\"https://www.snickers.com/Nutritional-Info\" target=\"_blank\">Snickers\u003c/a> bar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bottom line: Read the labels. Most nutrition labels list sugar in grams. Four grams of sugar is equivalent to about one teaspoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, don't get forgot to count sugar if you're eating out.

That's about three times what's recommended,\" says Laura Schmidt of the U.C. San Francisco School of Medicine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, we should point out, we're not talking fruit here. Researchers did not include the sugar naturally occurring in fruit or milk. Instead, the study focused specifically on the risks of \u003cem>added \u003c/em>sugar — the refined sugars and corn syrups added to foods such as baked goods and sugary sodas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, how much \u003cem>added\u003c/em> sugar is OK?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For starters, the American Heart Association \u003ca href=\"http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/GettingHealthy/NutritionCenter/HealthyDietGoals/Sugars-and-Carbohydrates_UCM_303296_Article.jsp\" target=\"_blank\">advises\u003c/a> that women consume no more than 6 teaspoons of sugar daily. This is about 100 calories. And men, no more than 9 teaspoons, or about 150 calories from sugar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The World Health Organization says people should get no more than 10 percent of their daily calories from sugar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the last time the federal government weighed in on sugar was in the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2014/02/04/271130613/2010%20version%20of%20the%20Dietary%20Guidelines\" target=\"_blank\">2010 Dietary Guidelines\u003c/a>, which make only a broad recommendation to reduce consumption of added sugar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So how best to reduce sugar?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some steps are fairly obvious. For example, eliminating one 12-ounce can of sugar-sweetened soda can cut about 9 teaspoons of sugar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But other common sources of added sugar can take you by surprise. For example, this morning I ate a small, 4-ounce cup of low-fat organic peach yogurt. I chalked it up as a very healthy breakfast, but when I looked at the nutrition label, it had 17 grams of sugar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You just shot most of your wad\" for the day, Schmidt points out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, yeah, swap those sweetened yogurts for plain yogurt. A typical 6-ounce serving of vanilla yogurt has about 6 teaspoons of sugar — which is about as much as a regular size \u003ca href=\"https://www.snickers.com/Nutritional-Info\" target=\"_blank\">Snickers\u003c/a> bar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bottom line: Read the labels. Most nutrition labels list sugar in grams. Four grams of sugar is equivalent to about one teaspoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, don't get forgot to count sugar if you're eating out. There can be lots of sugar added to breakfast foods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, stopping at Starbucks to pick up a blueberry muffin with your latte?
