Growing awareness of sugar's harms, accelerated by ketogenic diet interest, is driving companies to adopt stevia-based and sugar-free formulations. The decline in beef and egg consumption challenges the narrative that these foods are driving America's health decline. The 110% increase in chicken consumption is driven by the belief that chicken is healthier than beef, an assumption the article contests. US beef consumption dropped 29% and egg consumption dropped 21% from 1970 to 2014. Refined white sugar consumption declined 35% from 1970 to 2014. Skim milk consumption increased 129% and chicken and turkey consumption rose significantly from 1970 to 2014.
