Study Claims That Giving Kids Sweets Daily Can Turn Them into Violent Adults
Another study that I don't buy into. What will they come up with next???
Children who eat sweets daily are more likely to be violent as adults, a new study suggests.
Data from 17,500 participants in the 1970 British Cohort Study found that 10-year-olds who ate chocolates or other confectionaries daily were significantly more likely to have been convicted for violence by age 34.
Specifically, 69 percent who were violent at the age of 34 had eaten sweets nearly every day during childhood, compared to 42 percent who were non-violent.
Scientists aren't sure why.
"Our favored explanation is that giving children sweets and chocolate regularly may stop them [from] learning how to wait to obtain something they want," said lead researcher Simon Moore of Cardiff University. "Not being able to defer gratification may push them towards more impulsive behavior, which is strongly associated with delinquency."
Interesting article! Good thing that we have significantly decreased sweets in my home. On top of that, I am not realy into sweets anyhow, LOL! Hey, maybe that is why I am a pretty gentle person. Actually, my downfall is salty, which is just as bad anyhow.
Wow, where do you find these Debby? I totally do not buy into this one.
I think that scientist can find a way to determine anything they want to. Everyday another study, and they keep getting more and more out there.
