"Babies born under sugar rationing grew into adults with lower cancer risk
Could how much sugar you consumed before your second birthday shape your health decades later – even into your 70s?
A new study that my colleagues and I conducted suggests the answer could be yes. People who had less sugar exposure during the first few years of life were much less likely to develop several different cancers later in life, and they also showed signs of slower biological ageing. We also found that even in adulthood, they continued to consume less sugar and had healthier diets overall.
This is not an easy question to study in real life. Researchers obviously can’t run that experiment on real babies – split them into groups, feed one group sugar, then wait 70 years to see what happens.
Britain’s postwar sugar rationing offered a rare alternative. After the second world war, sugar remained rationed in Britain for several years. But in September 1953, rationing ended and people started eating a lot more sugar. Consumption nearly doubled. This meant that children born just a few months apart had very different levels of sugar exposure both in the womb and during early childhood.
For our study, we used data from over 64,000 people born in Britain between 1951 and 1956. Those born earlier spent a larger share of their first 1,000 days under sugar rationing, while those born later experienced progressively less of it.
(. . .)
We also found that exposure to sugar rationing is related to biological ageing. Biological age is not the same as chronological age. Two people may both be 70 years old, while their cells and immune systems show different levels of ageing.
One way we measure biological ageing is through telomere length. Telomeres are protective structures located at the ends of chromosomes. As cells age, telomeres usually become shorter."

@paninid Yes, #chemistry advances in #PublicHealth of past centuries is the reason for HUGE gains in human #longevity. But research on #telomeres (our ‘biological clock’) is still very promising, if only for potentially universal #cancer therapies.

Harvard study of 1K people who came to their center in Boston for testing found a 75% reduction in loss of telomere length over 4 years from 2K IU of vit D3 daily. Given Boston, likely these people were mostly vit D deficient to begin with. I'm not finding the free full text of the study, only articles about it like [1], and the study abstract [2].
