Healthnews-medical.netEarly life sugar exposure linked to higher adult anxiety risk
A University of Surrey study found that children exposed to high sugar in their first two years of life face a greater risk of anxiety as adults.
Exposure to sugar in the first 1,000 days of a child's life increases the risk of developing anxiety in adulthood, a new study from the University of Surrey reports.
A University of Surrey study found that sugar exposure in the first 1,000 days of life is linked to a higher risk of developing anxiety in adulthood.
Researchers analysed data from over 45,000 UK Biobank participants and found significant differences in 11 out of 80 brain regions linked to early sugar exposure.
Women in particular who had limited or no sugar rationing in early life were more likely to develop anxiety, the study found.
The study found the risk was lowest in those not heavily exposed to sugar in the womb and in the first two years of life, suggesting early diet really does matter.
