Sugar exposure in early life linked to anxiety in adulthood: Study

Exposure to sugar during the first 1,000 days of life may increase the risk of anxiety in adulthood, a University of Surrey study found. It also found that early-life sugar intake may affect brain development, with significant differences identified in 11 of 80 brain regions. Researchers analysed medical data of over 45,000 UK Biobank participants born between 1951 and 1956.
