A new study published this month in the British Journal of Psychiatry has concluded that children who eat candy and chocolate every day are more likely to become violent adults.
After analyzing data from 17,500 participants, scientists from the University of Cardiff found that 69% of subjects who showed violent behavior at 34 years had been small in the habit of eating sweets and chocolate almost every day.

Dr Simon Moore, lead author of the study suggests that giving small candies every day is not taught to expect to get something they want. And is that not being able to appreciate and be thankful when they are given something can promote impulsive behavior, which is strongly associated with crime. Although initially the study may seem biased and even absurd, I think is interesting because it is the first to examine long-term effects of diet during childhood on violence during of life.
