A study has found that sugar consumption in early life may have lasting effects on health. Researchers discovered a link between sugar intake and telomere length, which is associated with life expectancy.

The study's findings suggest that differences in telomere length can have a significant impact on lifespan. According to the research, a certain difference in telomere length is associated with an increase in life expectancy of slightly more than two years.

Further details about the study and its implications are available from the source, providing more insight into the potential long-term effects of early sugar consumption on overall health.
