Tricked by Treat!

I have been looking for recent and topical issues concerning exotic food on my Google Reader. After hours of efforts, I think I am convinced that bizarre foods are products of heritage and history of different culture, and they probably won't show up constantly on RSS feeds. *Idea light bulb pops up* Why can't I talk about weird behaviors caused by normal food?

We've all heard of how candies and sweets can make one happy. Scientific results have proved that they raise blood sugar level, thus make us more energetic, lively and happy. But recent researches have shown that they can also make us more violent! According to National Post, Topix.com, and many unknown personal blogs, studies have been conducted, showing that "Children who by age 10 were eating candy daily were more likely to be arrested for a violent offense by the age of 34." Well, when I come to think about it, it is possible that this might happen. See, if sugar makes us energetic, the chance that kids would use their energy to commit crimes is relatively higher! We all know kids who are spoiled tend to be more rebellious, thus might be more violent in the future. Do we necessarily need a study of 17,500 children to know this?

Yet, I am not denying the possibility of association between candies and violence. In fact, that might actually save us all some bucks from our pockets, especially when Halloween is right around the corner, maybe we should consider stop giving kids their treats...
