Sugar in Early Life Linked to Lower Dementia Risk | Leeds News

from Leeds News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

New research reveals that limiting sugar intake early in life—before birth and through age two—could slash dementia risk by up to 23%, with brain scans showing more grey matter and delayed onset by 2.5 years. The study, analyzing 65,000 UK participants and linking wartime sugar rationing to later brain health, suggests early sugar exposure may disrupt metabolism and nutrient delivery, impacting brain development long-term. While observational and not proof of causation, experts urge balanced diets for lifelong brain health. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
