Everyone knows they should cut back on sugar a bit. And everyone plans to start doing that tomorrow...or the next day...or, you know, maybe after the summer...

The American Heart Association recommends a limit of NINE added teaspoons of sugar for men, and just six for women and EVERYONE is blowing past that.

There's a map online that breaks down sugar intake, by state. And the state with the biggest sweet tooth is Kentucky, with 21.2 teaspoons per day.

Mississippi is next, and the other sugar-heavy states include:

  • Oklahoma
  • Arkansas
  • West Virginia
  • South Dakota
  • Indiana
  • Pennsylvania
  • Tennessee
  • Alabama
  • Georgia
  • South Carolina
  • Hawaii

Alaska is the state with the lowest average intake, at 14.8 teaspoons. That's STILL around double the recommended amount.

Oregon is close behind, and the other low-sugar states are:

  • California
  • Washington
  • Idaho
  • Montana
  • New York
  • Massachusetts
  • New Jersey

Texas came in right in the middle, which seams strange with our love of sweet tea, pecan pralines, Dr. Pepper and everything else we stuff our faces with on a daily basis!
