Eating too much sugar as a baby can cause serious heart problems like heart attacks later in life. A new study shows that the solution is simple: limiting sugar during the first 1,000 days (from pregnancy to age two). This acts as a shield for the heart. The benefit is huge, as children who eat less sugar have a 30% lower risk of heart disease and stay healthier for much longer as adults. It proves that a healthy start leads to a much stronger heart for a lifetime.
