One of the sadder parts of getting old is the knowledge that each donut cuts about 3.2 weeks off of one’s life expectancy.
That’s based on what scientific data (which should include clinical trial data powered enough to be relevant )
And that’s a problem, how?
Because a day without donuts, is a day without happiness.

Talk to me when your life expectancy is 3.2 weeks.
A guilty pleasure for sure! 
Deal, and I’d ask you for 23 donuts.

Which epidemiologist came up with that?
Soft science.
Soft and delicious science.

I guess the answer is eat some trail mix on the days you eat donuts (or hot dogs), to cancel the minutes out.
This is bad news for my friend who used to eat a dozen Krispy Kreme at a time.
Surely, an Apple Fritter a day keeps the cardiologist away?
Time to call your friend!

The difference between me and my friend, is that he would drive from Toronto to Niagara to get KKs in 2003, before Toronto had a KK. I walked 40 blocks to try my first KK in 1997, when a KK opened up on 23rd St in Manhattan.
I don’t think I’ve eaten more than a dozen Krispy Kremes since that first one in 1997. I have purchased them maybe 5 times.
The diminishing marginal deliciousness curve of KK donuts is steep.
The first bite (not donut, but “bite”) is stupendous. The second bite is sort of “meh” and by the third bite I’m kind of like “where’s my cup of strong black coffee to scrub the sugar and fat from my tongue”

There’s one in Daytona beach and they light up a sign when the donuts are hot. Hot Kk > rt kk*100. Now there’s some real science.
