Sorry, but this theory is easily refuted by canon:
****
Harry squeezed himself through a crowd of sixth years and saw 
a sign hanging in the farthest corner of the shop (UNUSUAL 
TASTES). Ron and Hermione were standing underneath it, 
examing a tray of blood-flavored lollipops. Harry sneaked up 
behind them.

"Ugh, no. Hary won't want one of those, they're for vampires, I 
expect, " Hermione was saying. 
 --PoA Ch. 10

If Potterverse vampires went mad at the smell of blood, then 
Honeydukes wouldn't be able to keep their stock of 
blood-flavored lollies out on a tray. They'd have to lock them up.
