Less sugar as a baby, fewer heart attacks as an adult

Limiting sugar consumption during early childhood may reduce the risk of serious heart problems later in life. A study published in The BMJ, based on data from the end of sugar rationing in the United Kingdom in 1953, found that people who consumed less sugar early on were less likely to develop conditions such as heart attack, heart failure, and stroke as adults.
