Study Links Early-Life Sugar Reduction to Lower Dementia Risk Decades Later
A recent study has found that reducing sugar intake during the first two years of life is associated with a lower risk of developing dementia later in life. Conducted by researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, the study analyzed data from nearly 65,000 individuals born before and after World War II, a period when sugar rationing was implemented in the UK. The study found that those exposed to sugar rationing before birth and during their first two years had a significantly lower risk of dementia compared to those born after rationing ended. The findings suggest that early-life nutrition, particularly sugar intake, may have long-lasting effects on brain health and the onset of dementia.
