Stop giving away candy on Halloween

There have been a number of studies that show the effects of encouraging children to eat candy and the results are important for parents to understand. The study shows that the largest increase in cavities for children is following Halloween. The study shows that there is a direct link between children getting candy and a monthly increase in cavities. If our society really cared about health issues they we should stop giving away garbage to kids on Halloween. A Alpharetta dentist recently spoke at a conference I went to and suggested that people give out small toys instead of candy to trick or treaters.
