The amount per year doesn't tell me much, but when converted to per day it's crazy high: 120*453.6/365 = 149 grams. That's 600 calories from sugar per day.

PS. A graph showing the total amount of daily calories from carbs, not just sugar: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/daily-caloric-supply-deri...

For reference, the recommended maximum amount by the American Heart Association is 37.5 g for men and 25 g for women.
