Restricting sugar in childhood reduces risk of hypertension in middle age 19:02

Low sugar intake during fetal development and the first two years of life significantly reduces the risk of chronic disease in middle age. This has been shown by a study published in the journal. Science.

In 1942, restrictions were placed on the sale of sugar in Great Britain. It was canceled in September 1953. At the same time, limiting sugar did not mean a general fast. Scientists analyzed data from people born during that period.

They found that low sugar intake during the first 1,000 days after pregnancy reduced the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 35% and the risk of hypertension in adulthood by 20%. If a child ate less sugar in the first two years of life, his or her risk of developing these diseases decreased even more. On average, they developed these diseases four years later than those without sugar restrictions.

The authors recommended parents of young children limit their consumption of sweets and other sources of added sugar, such as soda and fruit juice. Future studies will be needed to explain the mechanism of the patterns identified in the study.
