Restrict or Not to Restrict; Candy & Kids Experiment

What would happen if you gave a toddler/pre-school child unlimited access to candy & sweets? Would the child eat junk all day and fill up on non-nutritional foods? Or would she/he get bored and realize that if it's there all the time, it's not so special anymore.

Annie Sasseville RD, CNSD, a Pediatric Dietitian at Mile High Climbers, LLC wondered the same thing. And having access to an adorable 2 1/2 yo daughter, was able to test this hypothesis. She posted the first week results of her unique experiment HERE and a month later, the final outcome HERE.

What do you think of her tips for parents? Would this work for adults?
