The Sugar Rationing Effect

From eNewsletter 11/12/2025

DID YOU KNOW that the results of a study from The BMJ, started in 1951, followed over 63,000 subjects to examine whether exposure to sugar rationing during early life (the first 1,000 days) was associated with a reduction in the risk of cardiovascular outcomes in adulthood?

The only reason the study was performed was because of actual wartime rationing of sugar.

Researchers followed up with these subjects in 2023 and found that sugar rationing tracked to significantly less cardiovascular disease many decades later.

As we know, early exposure to excess sugar programs hyperinsulinemia, fat-making, epigenetic switches, taste circuitry and dopamine salience (lifelong preference shaping), and fermentation-first gut microbes that amplify cravings.

This should put the world on notice. Simply, added sugars have no place in early childhood.

DID YOU KNOW that adult-onset food allergy is much more common than you would think?

A JAMA Network Open study of 40,000 US adults found more than 10% reported an adult-onset food allergy. Among these food-allergic adults, 51.1% reported having had a severe food allergy reaction.

Just a few short decades ago, adult-onset food allergy was incredibly rare.

If you suspect that you have food allergies, it is best to test them away from the height of the pollen season for true readings. Please note that food allergies are different reactions than food intolerances.

DID YOU KNOW that a new study from Nutrition Reviews shows that vitamin D2, the source often recommend by physicians through prescription, may actually reduce vitamin D3 levels?

Vitamin D is available in two main supplement forms: D2 and D3. The researchers observed that when individuals take vitamin D2, it can cause a decline in vitamin D3 levels. Unlike D2, vitamin D3 is the type that the body naturally makes when exposed to sunlight, and it is also the form most efficient at boosting overall vitamin D status.

The results showed that people taking vitamin D2 experienced reduced vitamin D3 levels compared with those who did not take D2 supplements. In several cases, vitamin D3 levels dropped even lower than in the group that took no vitamin D at all!

If you have a vitamin D2 prescription or supplement, switch to vitamin D3 as soon as possible.
