From the USA: In-Utero Sugar Restriction Cuts Offspring's Risk for Diabetes, Hypertension
Sugar restriction during the first 1,000 days after conception lowers a child’s risk for later developing type 2 diabetes and hypertension, according to a study published online Oct. 31 in Science.
Tadeja Gracner, Ph.D., from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, and colleagues examined the impact of sugar exposure within 1,000 days since conception on diabetes and hypertension. The analysis used a quasi-experimental design based on data from adults conceived just before and after the end of the United Kingdom sugar rationing in September 1953, which restricted sugar intake to levels within current dietary guidelines. Consumption nearly doubled immediately after rationing ended.
