One of the manifestations of the 55-year-old UFC personnel’s obsession with fitness is his Sober October challenge. Similarly, the comedian is meticulous about his diet. Notably, the 55-year-old recently shared a message on his Instagram handle that traced the evolution of Americans’ sugar intake habits over a span of 100 years.

Joe Rogan cautions his followers of the changing eating habits

The UFC personnel got a mention in the story that the noted chef Michael Hunter shared initially. Later on, realizing its importance, the renowned podcaster also shared the same on his handle.

The presenter in the video put forth hard facts before the viewers. He credited the data to the US Department of Agriculture and mentioned that an American was eating half a pound of sugar per year, 100 years back.

He continued and stated that, 100 years later, the numbers shot up to 157 pounds of sugar, per person, per year.

Thus, he said, “So now we’re eating half a pound per day, so, in 100 years, we’ve gone from half a pound of sugar per person per year to half a pound of sugar per person per day.”

Following this, he claimed, “That, plus a deficiency of these nutrients in our food, has resulted in this epidemic of diabetes.”
