A USC study finds UK babies born during sugar rationing face lower risks of diabetes and hypertension.

A study from the University of Southern California indicates that individuals born during sugar rationing in the UK (1951-1956) have a significantly lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure later in life. Babies exposed to this rationing experienced a 35% reduction in diabetes risk and a 20% reduction in hypertension risk. The findings suggest that limiting sugar intake during the first 1,000 days of life may lead to better long-term health outcomes.
