The authors» summary of the available evidence is very specific: «This analysis of apparent consumption,
national dietary surveys and food [beverage] industry data indicates a consistent and substantial decline in total refined or added sugar consumption by Australians over the past 30 years [1980 to 2010]» (my bolding; p. 499 of PDF).
In this analysis of multiple independent data sets that encompassed the availability of added and refined sugars,
national dietary surveys, and beverage - industry grocery sales in Australia, we showed a substantial decline in refined sugars and SSB consumption.
In the current study, we provide novel data on changes in the availability of added and refined sugars and in recorded intakes of total sugars, added sugars, SSB, carbonated soft drinks, juices, confectionery, and alcohol consumption in Australian adults and children between the 2 most recent
national dietary surveys in 1995 and 2011 — 2012.
Mean changes in intakes of added sugars from all sources, including discretionary sugars and sugars that were added to processed foods, in Australian children (aged 2 — 18 y) according to
national dietary surveys in 1995 and 2011 — 2012.
The main findings in this analysis are summarized in Figure 7 and include the trend - line changes from 1995 to 2011 for the availability of sugars and sweeteners (FAOSTAT), the apparent consumption of refined sugars (ABS), and sugars added to carbonated soft drinks (industry data) compared with the changes in total sugars, added sugars, and sugars as soft drinks according to
national dietary surveys in 1995 and 2011 — 2012.
The 2 most recent
national dietary surveys that were undertaken by the ABS in 1995 and 2011 — 2012 were included in the current analysis.
Compared with our 2011 article (15), the current analysis provides novel data on changes in recorded intakes of total sugars, added sugars, SSB, carbonated soft drinks, juices, confectionery, and alcohol in Australian adults and children between the 2 most recent
national dietary surveys.
In contrast,
national dietary surveys can provide good estimates of changes in usual intakes of subgroups of the population, including men, women, children, and adults (both sexes), provided that the data are carefully collected.
The industry figures reported in the current study were corroborated by
national dietary surveys that indicated a similar downward trend.
Changes in intake of total and added sugars, SSBs, sugary products, confectionery, and alcoholic beverages in Australian adults and children according to
national dietary surveys in 1995 and 2011 — 20121
According to the current study, the per capita availability of sugars and sweeteners fell 16 % between 1980 and 2011, which was a fall that was equivalent to a per capita reduction of added - sugars intake by ~ 230 g / y for 30 y. Between 1995 and 2011, the reported intake of added sugars (grams per day) in
national dietary surveys declined 18 % in adult men but remained essentially unchanged in adult women (42 g / d).
In
national dietary surveys in 1995 and 2011 — 2012, added - sugars intake declined markedly in adult men (from 72 to 59 g / d; − 18 %) but not in women (44 — 42 g / d; NS).

national dietary survey data sets, Ridoutt et al. (25) calculated that Australians were eating more whole fruit and more wholegrain cereals but consumed less refined sugars and less 100 % fruit juice in 2011 — 2012.
With the use of both the 1995 and 2011 — 2012
national dietary survey data sets, Ridoutt et al. (25) disaggregated ~ 4500 food items into basic foods to determine changes over time in relation to the basic food groups.
