I had no idea. Thanks for pointing this out.
I readily admit that I was living on candy during the day for about 6 months, partially due to the way work worked. Taking lunch breaks could negatively affect income so snacking out of the available-to-everyone candy stash became habit. My diet was definitely poor in the 6 months before my blood was drawn.
