What happened since 2012? And why is this ? Pasta pizza and bread?
Yup! Would be interesting to see the breakdown for the types of sugar.
Guessing you'd see the sugars with unwanted starch (corn syrup, probably beets too) peak and the maple, cane, etc... drop.
How can this represent reality? Show me a person that became fat after eating low-carb/keto/carnivore
This graph shows that, even as Americans shyed away from sugar, they continue to become more and more obese.
The question being: if less sugar consumption did not interrupt the obesity trend, meaning sugar is not the primary driver, then what is?
Sugar is not making us fat.
Sugar is what kept us slim.
Then we stopped eating it.
And started getting a majority of our calories from seed oils and other engineered food substitutes and factory foods.

Animal fats went down.
Sugar went down.
Seed oils went up.
Obesity went up.

Re define sugar?
I am willing to consider, but I find it hard to believe that sugar consumption has gone down any significant amount
“Sugar” intake may have decreased but does this graph include all the sugar derivatives (high fructose corn syrup, etc)?
Now do HFCS and seed oils
Sugar becomes glucose. So does any other form of carbohydrates, bread, pasta, rice etc. they don't taste sweet but they produce an overload of glucose just the same in the body. Which triggers insulin. Which over a constant period of time will induce obesity.
