Total of 152 pounds ...

In the United States, the intake of added sugars— table sugar and, later, high- fructose corn syrup— reached around 100 pounds per person per year by 1920, and stayed there until around the late 1980s, when it steadily began increasing again, to about 120 pounds in 2002. That’s almost 150 grams of sugar per day, or about six of those frosted cupcakes. At that point, a staggering total of 152 pounds of total caloric sweeteners were being consumed per person per year (the 32-pound difference coming from honey, glucose, and dextrose).

--- Does it say people consumed 152 pounds of sugar in the form of artificial sweeteners? I'm also not sure what the part in parenthesis refer to?
