They've overstated the connection a bit. There was a small movement at the time pushing the idea that spicy, sweet or otherwise flavorful foods had an equivalent effect on the personality of the consumer. If you wanted to control your urges, sexual or otherwise, you should eat a bland vegetarian diet. Corn flakes were created by accident during preparations of grain for normal use in bland, tasteless food.
