Well it all depends on the time period that you are asking about. The USDA reports that Americans consume a whopping 150-170 pounds of sugar. That number includes glucose, sucrose and fructose. And get this! Less than one hundred years ago, people only took in about 4lbs per year. I think it's had such an increase because we have more accessibility to processed foods and simple carbs like soda, doughnuts, cakes etc.

The answer, IMO, would not be "how much candy" ---- but how much SUGAR you are taking in. Choose candies that have artificial sweeteners. According to my doctor, too much sugar intake can promote the onset of diabetes. Sugar also has other health ristks. Also, be careful about too much "non-sweeteners". They're artificial and contain (in certain cases) chemicals you don't want in your system. I do not practice medicine. I'm giving you advice from both my physician and nutritionist.
The average American consumes about 10 pounds of cereal per year. This varies depending on individual preferences and dietary habits.
