what percent of calories from fat from sugar
At any rate, I decided to crunch a few numbers from Jezovitâs great chart to shine a light on the centrality of added fats and sugars to our diets. In 1970, the U.S. food system churned out 2,168 calories per day per person, of which 402 came from added sugar and 410 from added fat. Combined, thatâs 812 calories from additives, or about 37 percent of the total. Jump forward to 2008 (the last year for which there are figures), and you find that the food system cranked out 2,673 calories per person.
