New study alleges children who ate sweets and chocolate everyday are more likely to commit violent acts as adults.

Surely the fact that they behave violently has more to do with the environment they were brought up in. Probably on a council estate with not much guidance from their parents and a lot to do to "look cool" to their peers. This kind of environment would allow them to go to the shop and buy/nick sweets almost everyday.

I was brought up in a working class mining village. I had pocket money which inevitably was spent on sweets (choc lick FTW) often in fact. According to this report I am now - as an adult - a violent member of society. Brilliant. Now where did I put that baseball bat.........

I didn't mean to say that everyone is the same this way but I am sure that there are a lot of other factors that would contribute to someone being violent as an adult. And a lot of these would also be a reason for someone eating a lot of sweets as a kid.

i.e. just because someone ate sweets as a kid and is violent as an adult doesn't mean that one is the cause and the other is the effect. More that both these things are effects of some other, more complex factor.

This is one of those things where predisposition is a huge factor. Like cannabis and schizophrenia (not everyone who smokes cannabis will become schizophrenic, but young schizophrenics tend to have a history of cannabis use), if you're predisposed to aggressive behaviour, a large consumption of sweets may well lead to triggering the behaviour.

I am, unfortunately, one of those people. If I don't get my regular fix of sugar and chocolate, people will die! :twisted:

On that basis will Cadbury's Dairy Milk be classified a class C drug? ;)

If they ever legalise cannabis then newsagents would make the perfect distributors.
