Adults who had lower sugar intake early in life may have a reduced risk of certain cancers. This is according to a study that found connections between early life nutrition and later health outcomes. The study's findings also suggest a possible link to slower biological aging and healthier diets later in life.

Researchers examined the effects of early life sugar consumption on long-term health. They found that lower sugar intake during a critical period was associated with lower risks of liver, breast, and prostate cancer.

Further details on the study's methodology and results are available, including comments from the study's author on the potential importance of early-life nutrition for brain health.
