fizzy drink equals aggression

no more coke for you

 

The study, published in a British journal, Injury Prevention, will revive memories of the "Twinkie Defence", a US legal landmark in which a killer successfully argued that his behaviour had been swayed by eating junk food.

 

The defendant in this case, Dan White, had been charged with homicide. His lawyer's successful pleading led to conviction of a lesser charge, of voluntary manslaughter.

 

Several studies elsewhere have established a link between very high sugar consumption and lack of social bonding or irritable and anti-social behaviour.

 

Some diet research has also pointed the finger at the lack of micro-nutrients as a source of aggression, but this work is still in its early stages.
