Daily briefing: Lots of sugar as a child raises the risk of diabetes as an adult
Briefly

A recent study found that children who consumed a higher sugar diet in their early years face increased risks of diabetes and high blood pressure in adulthood.
Research indicates that sugar consumption during a child's first two years has a significant impact on long-term health outcomes, particularly for diabetes and hypertension.
The analysis highlights that those exposed to more sugar in utero carry a greater risk of developing diabetes later in life, emphasizing the impact of early dietary habits.
Despite the findings, economist Tadeja Gračner advises against eliminating all added sugars, suggesting a moderate reduction may be beneficial given current consumption levels.
