Sugar consumption increases in England. England initially controlled most of the importation of sugar from the Americas, and most of the sugar was consumed in England compared with other European countries, such as France. Shown is the amount of sugar consumed per capita compared with England during the 18th century. Data are originally from Austen and Smith (117), and the quotes are by authors who wrote about the rise in Obesity in England (118, 119). Reproduced from reference 112 with permission.
