Could at least have made it candy colored or something
Would be great to overlay with a diabetes density map
Wish it was grams instead of tsp.
The south, “winning” again! (Except Florida, good job Florida)
Even the healthiest states, coloured a nice positive green, are still about 2x over the recommended amount.
what is this color scheme
Now do a correlation with poverty rates
Shouldn’t put the lowest colour green when it’s still a terrible amount of sugar.
It just so happens that “green” as in below the recommended amount doesn’t appear in a US map.
Your title doesn’t match the picture. “Sugar intake” ≠ “added Sugar intake”
The midwest prefers alcohol
14 TEASPOONS?? How many grams is that? Sounds like a lot
wonder how the average would be affected if they included US territories to this list. Puerto Rico alone would probably put a cap on those pink ones
All those fat bible clutchers lmfao
Overlay this with a map of sweet vs unsweetened tea and i bet it is almost an exact match.

Would love to see this correlated with state obesity rate
Probably pretty similar
Actual sugar? Or does it include high fructose corn syrup?
Do people in the Deep South ever look around and wonder why almost everyone is fat, slow, and diabetic, or are they too busy pouring themselves another half-gallon of soda and sweet tea?
Wait a minute. I just saw a map of windowless free candy vans per capita and this is the same damn map.
Hawaii is shocking I thought they pretty much just lived off tropical fruit
: sings Jardiance theme song with a Southern drawl:
While location is cool, I would think a basic bar chart with “# states where consumption is 9<x<10tsps” and so on would do a better job of highlighting how 0 states are anywhere near the suggested amount. Because does it really matter that northern states eat less if they are all fat fucks?
Does this data exclude factories that import and use a lot of sugar?
Americans need to stop fat loving and change their diets
6-9 tsp is actually recommended by the American Heart Association? Wtf? Shouldn’t the recommendation be zero?
NC is like a divorcee getting her life together and ready to start all over again.
Estimated how? Anyone know the methodology?
Wtf is going on in Mississippi and Kentucky?
There’s a reason southern cooking tastes so good…
in one tsp increments? I expected a larger variation tbh
How does compare with obesity stats?
The only sugar I had today was an apple. Definitely feeling better since cutting back massively.
Kinda looks like the presidential election map…
Overlay with diabete and political opinion
I love this map, but I’m disappointed that you didn’t include your data source, and that nobody has asked you for it. In an era of aggressive disinformation, I may never understand why someone would go to this much trouble to create a potentially useful map, and not include a source – a verifiable one, if possible. In 2024, should we just take people’s word for things?
“On the low end we only eat about twice the added sugar we should”
Is pretty much the takeaway we can see from this graphic
Every possible occasion they can, people are giving candy to children in Mississippi.
It’s insane.
Every parade, they throw candy at children. Every Sunday school class, every teacher’s award/treasure chest, and of course, sugary sodas in everyone’s refrigerator.
I’d love to see these maps where cities are isolated. Or maybe even by region. Because like, every one of these maps might as well just show NOVA for Virginia. I’d guarantee there’s quite a bit of sugar consumption in the other areas of this state.
Well this makes a lot of sense because most people in the higher intake states are fatter and dumber.

I made this map and posted it 4 months ago. This is the worst type of plagiarism. https://reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/1dzvkk1/estimated_daily_sugar_intake_by_us_state_oc/
Heh. I get 36tsp/day just from my sweet tea.
