A new study reveals that infants born during the post-World War II food rationing in Britain have lower risks of diabetes and hypertension decades later.
Researchers analyzed data from approximately 60,000 individuals, finding that those born while sugar was rationed had significantly reduced risks of diabetes and hypertension as adults.
The study suggests that the dietary restrictions of the post-war rationing period may have conferred lifelong health benefits by limiting sugar intake during critical developmental phases.
This research helps clarify the long-term effects of early dietary patterns, isolating the impact of sugar intake from other confounding factors like income and geography.
