“In 1700, the average English household consumed less than two kilograms of table sugar a year. By the end of the century that amount had quadrupled, and the upward trend has continued largely unbroken ever since. Between the early 1970s and the early 2000s, adults in the US increased their average daily calorie intake by 13 per cent, largely by eating more carbohydrates, including sugar. Today, yearly sugar consumption in the US is close to forty kilograms per person – more than twenty teaspoons a day.”

But this simplicity belies a deeper connection. People turn out to be more genetically related to their close friends than to random strangers. A typical close friend is about as close as a fourth cousin; that is, someone you share a great-great-great-grandparent with.”
