Copiii care au mâncat puțin zahăr în primii ani de viață au ajuns adulți mai sănătoși. Riscul unor forme de cancer, redus cu 69%

A study published in PNAS reveals that children exposed to sugar restrictions in their first 1,000 days of life have a significantly lower risk of developing various cancers in adulthood. Researchers found that these individuals also had longer telomeres, indicating slower biological aging and healthier eating habits maintained over decades. The study analyzed data from 64,761 individuals born in the UK between 1951 and 1956, comparing those who experienced sugar rationing with those born after its end. Results showed a 69% reduced risk of liver cancer and lower incidences of other cancers. Early exposure to low-sugar diets appears to influence long-term dietary preferences.
