Recent study says that eating sweets on a regular basis can not trigger a heart attack or even weight gain.
The study was conducted on more than 5,000 Americans. The result did not find an association between poor health and eating candy on a regular basis.
People who eat sweets every day are not at risk of being overweight or developing cardiovascular disease than those who do it once a week or not at all. As reported by the Daily Mail (22/5), this research was supported by the National Confectioners Association.
"We did not find an association between the frequency of sweets consumption and increased body mass index or cardiovascular risk factors among adults," said Mary Murphy, a registered dietitian from the Centre for Chemical Regulation and Food Safety, in Washington DC, USA.
But researchers say that does not mean a person should not eat sweets as much as he wants.
