You could be right about that, but 158 pounds sounds
like an over abundance of sugar, to me.  I'm curious
to know how much of this sugar goes into horse feed,
dog food, etc... What kind of 'research' did they put
into their research?  Did they bother to track where
all this sugar went, and what it was being used for? 
Did they account for how much sugar is exported to
other countries?  How much sugar-containing food is
exported to needy communities?  The US distributes a
prodigous amount of food to other nations, and I'm not
certain this is being taken into account when they
calculate the 'per capita' sugar usage in the US.
