A new study suggests that limiting sugar intake in the first 1,000 days of life may be linked to a reduced risk of anxiety in adulthood. Researchers examined data on more than 45,000 people born in the UK between 1951 and 1956.
According to the findings of this study, people who were subjected to sugar rationing for a longer period of time during childhood were 33 percent less likely to experience anxiety, and the average age of onset of anxiety was also higher.
Researchers say nutrition in the early years of life can have lasting effects on brain development and structure; however, these findings show a connection between these factors and do not alone prove a cause-and-effect relationship.
