Taste for Sweets an Index of Whole- someness It is gratifying to note that the sugar consumption of the United States has grown until it now equals that of England, which was heretofore regard- ed as the greatest sugar-consuming na- tion on earth; for nations may be rated by their taste for sweets. Latest statis- tics show that the sugar used in the United States and England is equal to 80 pounds a year for each man, woman and child in these two nations.
