I went to the www.fedstats.gov website, which is an excellent starting point 
for anyone wanting U.S. government statistics.  It led me to:
http://www.ers.usda.gov/briefing/sugar/index.htm

The documents there say, in part, "Per capita consumption of caloric 
sweeteners increased by 28 pounds, or 22 percent, from 1970 through 
1995, and has continued to increase since 1995. In 1999, per capita 
sweetener consumption was estimated at 158 pounds per capita."  Now 
"caloric sweeteners" includes stuff like maple syrup and corn syrup, but 
I'm sure if you poke around that website, you'll find more detailed 
breakdowns of the figures.
