Cutting the amount of sugar children get in the womb and as toddlers can protect them against diabetes and high blood pressure in adulthood, research suggests. 🍼🍎
The findings highlight a critical window for healthy nutrition during the first 1,000 days of life, when babies initially absorb nutrients from their mothers and then transition to formulas and infant foods. 🥣👶
Scientists discovered that reducing sugar intake to levels recommended by dietary guidelines in early life was linked to a 35% drop in rates of type 2 diabetes in middle age and a 20% fall in high blood pressure. 📉💪
A low-sugar diet also appeared to delay the onset of these chronic diseases. Diabetes and high blood pressure were found to develop four and two years later, respectively, in people who had limited sugar intake early in life compared to those who consumed more. 🕒🍬
The researchers utilized a natural experiment in the UK during the postwar period, when sugar and sweets rationing ended in 1953. By analyzing UK Biobank data, they compared the health outcomes of 38,000 people conceived and born during rationing with 22,000 people conceived shortly afterward. 📚🔍
