Early sugar rationing linked to lower cancer risk and slower aging decades later
Using Britain's postwar sugar rationing as a natural experiment, researchers analyzed data from over 64,000 people born between 1951 and 1956. Those with less sugar exposure during their first 1,000 days had lower rates of several cancers and signs of slower biological aging, and they maintained healthier diets in adulthood.
