The Sugar Rationing Effect

From eNewsletter 11/12/2025

DID YOU KNOW that the results of a study from The BMJ, started in 1951, followed over 63,000 subjects to examine whether exposure to sugar rationing during early life (the first 1,000 days) was associated with a reduction in the risk of cardiovascular outcomes in adulthood?

The only reason the study was performed was because of actual wartime rationing of sugar.

Researchers followed up with these subjects in 2023 and found that sugar rationing tracked to significantly less cardiovascular disease many decades later.

As we know, early exposure to excess sugar programs hyperinsulinemia, fat-making, epigenetic switches, taste circuitry and dopamine salience (lifelong preference shaping), and fermentation-first gut microbes that amplify cravings.

This should put the world on notice. Simply, added sugars have no place in early childhood.
