Sugar Rationing: How It Decisively Shaped Our Health!
A study shows that eating less sugar in early childhood reduces the risk of diabetes and high blood pressure in old age.
Sugar Rationing: How It Decisively Shaped Our Health!
In the 1950s, Britain experienced sugar rationing that lasted until it was lifted in 1953. A new research team has now shockingly examined the impact of this rationing on the health of around 60,000 people. The results are astonishing: people who were affected by sugar rationing during the first 1,000 days of their lives - from conception to their second birthday - have a 35 percent lower risk of type 2 diabetes and 20 percent lower risk of high blood pressure in their adult life!
The consequences of sugar rationing
After rationing ended, British sugar consumption skyrocketed - they doubled their sugar consumption! The ration quantities at that time roughly correspond to today's recommendations, but in Germany people now consume on average twice as much sugar. These worrying numbers raise questions about how excessive sugar consumption affects our health.
However, a researcher who was not part of the study team warns that the results are biased. He emphasizes that people's lifestyles and diets also changed fundamentally in the 1950s, which may not have been sufficiently taken into account in the study. These findings could have far-reaching implications for our diet and health.
