Tables and discussion focus on per capita consumption and total consumption in certain countries of centrifugal sugar, nutritive sweeteners, crystalline fructose, sucrose and corn sweeteners. Suppliers of alternative sweeteners, major producers of centrifugal sugar, and industrial use of sucrose and corn sweeteners are detailed. High fructose corn syrup has become the most important replacement for sucrose. Xylitol is equal in calories and sweetness to sucrose, but it costs more. The total industrial use of nutritive sweeteners is expected to remain at 70 percent, while the industrial use of sucrose declines.
