On average, in 2004, Canadians consumed 110.0 grams of sugar a day, the equivalent of 26 teaspoons. This amounted to 21.4% of their total daily calorie intake. Absolute daily sugar consumption varied substantially with age (Figure 1). It was lowest among women aged 71 or older (83 grams or 20 teaspoons), and highest among teenage boys aged 14 to 18 (172 grams or 41 teaspoons). In every age group, males consumed significantly more sugar than did females.
