British study on the effects of sugar rationing and its dropping after WWII.

Exposure to sugar rationing in the first 1000 days of life protected against chronic disease

We examined the impact of sugar exposure within 1000 days since conception on diabetes and hypertension, leveraging quasi-experimental variation from the end of the United Kingdom’s sugar rationing in September 1953. Rationing restricted sugar intake to levels within current dietary guidelines, yet consumption nearly doubled immediately post-rationing. Using an event study design with UK Biobank data comparing adults conceived just before or after rationing ended, we found that early-life rationing reduced diabetes and hypertension risk by about 35% and 20%, respectively, and delayed disease onset by 4 and 2 years. Protection was evident with in-utero exposure and increased with postnatal sugar restriction, especially after six months when solid foods likely began. In-utero sugar rationing alone accounted for about one third of the risk reduction.

The real enemy in our lives is our addiction to sugar (Fructose primarily) and by way on one set of chemical processes; Starches...which break down into sugars. We all need glycose. It is essential. But water is essential as well, and you can drown in water if you are not careful. Glycose is the same.

To test yourself. For two weeks: Read every label and turn away from every product that includes added sugars, or has a sugar content above 2 grams per serving. Stop eating processed foods, including starches and prepared canned foods. Live on fresh meats, vegetables, salads, eggs. See how long it takes you to go fking nuts. It is harder to assume a diet that is minimal in fructose and starches than it is to stop drinking, or doing smoke, or even heavy drugs.

Get yourself a blood glucose meter and see where you stand. Odds are you are prediabetic (above 100 after 12 hours of fasting in the morning.) See if you can eat a regular week of meals and what the BS readings are. Then try and stop sugar intake. Fact is you have been addicted since early childhood or pre birth.

If you are not thinking about this situation everyday.....you will find it will destroy your insulin sensitivity and you will venture into the nightmare of diabetes. A time when everything you eat has a price tag on it and the currency of acceptance is your life force.
