But what do we do now about your other post, drawing our
attention to research claiming that candy rewards lead to violent

I do not buy all of it. If confectionery is correlated with some degree of
violence it is probably

leads to aggression.
British toffees (more likely to contain cane sugar) do not seem to produce
such results.
As the unchallenged cross-cultural dude on Tips,one aspect of fun that
exists in the West is
sarcasm.In Latin America,it appears that sarcasm does not exist.
