In case you weren’t confused enough about what you should be putting in your body, a new study shows that eating candy may prevent obesity and heart disease.
According to CBS, researchers studied the diets and weights of 11,000 kids and teenagers. Teens who ate candy were 26% less likely than teens who didn’t — for younger kids, the figure was 22%. What’s more, candy-eaters had lower levels of C-reactive protein, a marker that’s been linked to heart disease. Thus candy was correlated not just with lower BMI, but also with a size-independent measure of health.
