refined sugar - a 2004 study at UC Berkley surveyed 4,760 adults, and found that sweets, deserts, and soft drinks/alcohol comprise almost 25% of all the calories consumed in the US. the top 5 foods, in order of consumption are soft drinks (comprising 7.1% of the total calories alone) , pastries, Hamburgers, Pizza, and potato chips.

Others have shown that the average American consumes 3-4x the amount of added sugar recommended by the USDA
