The study found that restricting sugar during the first 1,000 days of life can reduce the risk of developing diabetes and hypertension by about 35% and 20%, respectively.
The researchers concluded that the protective effect of sugar restriction was strongest when exposure was limited both in utero and during infancy.
Critics argue that existing dietary recommendations regarding sugar intake are based on studies of poor quality. This research aims to overcome those limitations.
While the study establishes a link between reduced sugar intake in early life and lower disease risk, it does not conclusively prove direct causation.
