Sugar restriction in early life is linked to lower dementia risk and slightly slower brain aging decades later
A natural experiment created by Britain’s postwar sugar rationing suggests that less sugar in the first years of life may be linked to lower risks of dementia, depression, and anxiety, along with slightly younger-looking brains.
How much sugar people take up at the beginning of their lives could still be related to their mental health decades later. An evaluation of British health data links sugar limitation during pregnancy and early childhood with rarer anxiety disorders and depression in adulthood. However, the observational data do not prove a causal protection by the rationing. Guangzhou (China). The nutrition in the womb and [...] The post Depression & Co: Nutriti…
A diet high in sugar during pregnancy and early childhood can have long-term consequences. Analysis of changes in British dietary policy indicates a link between higher sugar consumption and the risk of depression and anxiety disorders in adulthood.
Scientists from Sun Yat-sen University seized on a historic moment: in September 1953, Britain abolished rationing, and sugary food consumption skyrocketed. Those whose rationing extended from conception to their second birthday had a 24 percent lower risk of anxiety disorders. However, this is an association, not proof of causation.
