I have a parent friend whose children eat a lot of candy and I can see jail time in their future. It may have more to do with the fact that the parent doesn't see the correlation between the amount of sugar her kids eat, and their behavior, and not the actual quantities of sugar she's allowing them to consume. Or maybe both. But she also doesn't seem to get the connections between the sugar and the cavities.
Put that candy down, hungry baby. Candy is for closers only. You can't close the leads you're given, you can't close shit, you ARE shit, hit the bricks, pal, and beat it, 'cause you are going out!!! A-B-C. A-always, B-be, C-closing. Always be closing! Always be closing!!

I keep looking at the picture up there and thinking how easy it would be to jack that lollipop and step on Pippi Longstocking's foot for good measure.
Where's the "What We Need More Of Is Science" tag? I plan to make that the title of a future omni-trend book, and need its Google rank juiced ever so frequently.
As an English child I was given candy every day and yes it's true because I did become a gangster and a drug dealer. No regrets though as I did a Kennedy and went legit years ago.
As always, we can't necesarily equate association with causation. This is an intriguing preliminary finding, but one wonders if this is capturing the effects of poor impulse control and/or inadequate parental supervision.
