"The researchers determined that limiting sugar exposure in the first 1,000 days of a child's life - from gestation until the age of 2 - reduced diabetes risk by about 35% and hypertension risk by 20%," the international team wrote, emphasizing the critical window for dietary intervention.
"In-utero sugar rationing alone was protective, but most risk reduction occurred when rationing lasted beyond age six months," the authors highlighted, indicating the importance of prolonged sugar limitation.
"The risk of disease diagnosis increased with age for everyone, but it increased faster among adults with little or no exposure to rationing," researchers noted, highlighting the long-term impacts of early sugar exposure.
"Eating a lot of sugar can damage cells, causing chronic inflammation, which has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, liver disease and cancer," the study illustrates the broader public health implications of excessive sugar consumption.
