Early Sugar Exposure Linked to Lower Dementia Risk | Washington DC News

New research reveals that lower sugar intake before birth and in early childhood may slash dementia risk by up to 23% later in life, with those exposed to less sugar also experiencing a two-and-a-half-year delay in onset. The study analyzed over 64,000 UK residents born before and after WWII sugar rationing ended in 1953, though experts caution this is an association—not proof of direct causation. Still, the takeaway? Prioritize whole foods like fruits, veggies, and lean proteins during pregnancy and early development to support long-term brain health.
