Study links early sugar restrictions to lower chronic disease risk in adulthood

news.yahoo.com October 31, 2024, 07:01 PM UTC

A new study suggests that limiting sugar intake during the first 1,000 days of life may reduce the risk of chronic diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure in adulthood. This research analyzed data from over 60,000 Britons conceived between 1951 and 1956.

The study found that individuals exposed to sugar rationing during and shortly after World War II had a significantly lower risk of type 2 diabetes and hypertension. The most notable protective effect was observed in those exposed to restricted sugar while in the womb.

Currently, sugar consumption in the UK exceeds recommended levels, with toddlers averaging over six teaspoons of free sugars daily. The researchers emphasize the need for further studies to determine optimal sugar intake during pregnancy and early childhood.
