Candy = Crime

A new study [abstract] (via Kottke) suggests a link between daily childhood candy eating and crime.  Apparently, 69 percent of people* (in a studied group) who committed crime by age 34 were daily candy eaters. 

What kind of parent gives their kids candy daily?

*As Kottke notes, some news agencies are reporting that 69 percent of daily candy eaters became criminals.  That, of course, is an entirely different thing.
