Impact of Sugar on Child Development
Science confirms that the first 1,000 days of life, from conception to the child's second birthday, are crucial in shaping a child's metabolism and brain for life.
During this period, the child's body and brain develop rapidly, and exposure to added sugar can have a lasting impact on their health, including weight, heart health, and cognitive development.
Added sugar is not harmless, but rather a powerful metabolic programmer that will influence a child's weight, heart health, and cognitive development well into adulthood.
Parental decisions, including those related to sugar intake, play a significant role in giving children the best possible life.
Author's summary: Sugar intake in the first 1,000 days affects child's health.
