What an irritating article. If you do anything pleasurable you don't normally do in the morning (like eating ice cream for breakfast) you're likely going to be in a better mood. What happens when someone eats ice cream every day? I'm sure you will lose this effect. In fact, when this person skips a day of eating ice cream for breakfast they're going to be more irritable - classic response to addiction/habitual use. I haven't read the original study and it's not to necessarily suggest that the author is pushing stupid science, it's the annoying pop science article posted here that people will pass around in semi-joking defense for eating more sweets.
