June 30/San Francisco/San Francisco Gate -- Kids who munch on Skittles and Snickers weigh less than those kids who do not eat candy, a new study finds.
Researchers at Louisiana State University collected data from more than 11,000 kids, age 2-18, between 1999-2004. They discovered that children who indulged in candy were 22% less likely to be overweight or obese than their counterparts who did not eat sweets.
