Haha drama.  "Total candy consumers had higher intakes of total energy (2248.9 kcals26.8 vs 1993.1 kcals15.1, p<0.0001) and added sugars (27.7 g0.44 vs 23.4 g0.38, p<0.0001) than non-consumers."

That's not much of a difference. If they looked at soda consumption, probably be a different story. Maybe the kids who eat candy are more active
