Twenty years ago, I met a couple with a young son who decided not to let the kid have sugar. I wonder how that might have worked out for the kid now that he’s grown.
I assume the kid hit 18 and went on a sugar binge as soon as he tasted it the first time.
Anyone have experience with this?


Thank you. I know I shouldn’t be surprised this doesn’t have more than 10% of the upvotes for anecdotal “I didn’t get sugar when I was a kid, so my adult onset diabetes and obesity is clearly my parents fault.” But, I’m a little disappointed.
But, it’s not really what I asked. I asked for experience, not studies. I like the anecdotes.
There’s whole news ecosystems based on information based on anecdotes, as opposed to data driven studies.
Surprised Hershey isn’t astro turfiing us with made-up horrors of sugar deprivation.
