Early-Life Low Sugar Intake Linked to 46% Lower Alzheimer’s Risk in UK Study

A UK study found that lower sugar intake during the first 1,000 days of life correlates with a 46% reduced risk of Alzheimer’s and lower risks of dementia, depression, and anxiety later in life. The research leveraged historical sugar rationing between 1942 and 1953 to compare health outcomes of those born during and after the rationing period. MRI scans showed younger brain age and larger memory-related brain regions in those exposed to lower sugar levels postnatally. Experts stress the importance of limiting added sugars in early nutrition but note the study’s observational nature and confounding factors.
