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?

    That’s a thing I saw in Sweden and Iceland: sugar/candy is allowed, but only on Saturday. It’s a nice, well-delinileated bit of moderation that isn’t an outright ban. I suspect it’s a recurring theme throughout countries in the area.

    And it seems to do very well. I think the Nordics are doing very well on obesity and diabetes, for instance. … I mean, if we wanted to point out another way the Nordics are just killin’ it.
