To sum up the article: a new UK study hypothesizes "that excessive confectionery consumption increases the likelihood of violence in adulthood." The author of the article goes on to ridicule the hypothesis, but I think it brings up some reasonable ideas. Is there a correlation between the laxity of discipline at home that leads to "daily sweets consumption" and the transfer of that same instant-gratification mentality to other areas?
I'm not convinced that commentary here is necessary. Just give me my Thin Mints!
