00:00Scientists say eating very little sugar during the first two years of life could help protect
00:05brain health decades later, although they stress the research does not prove a direct
00:10cause and effect.
00:12Researchers found people who were toddlers during UK sugar rationing appeared less likely
00:17to develop dementia than those born after restrictions ended.
00:21Independent experts say the findings add to growing evidence that nutrition in early childhood
00:27can have lasting health effects, however they caution many other factors could also influence
00:34dementia risk and say more research is needed, while continuing to recommend a healthy balanced
00:39diet to support brain health throughout life.
