RFK Jr: “Food is medicine.”
“There was a recent study that showed that when prisons switched to whole food diets, violence went down by about 70%.”
“When they switched the diet in juvenile detention centers to a whole food diet, violence went down 100%.”
“There's a scientist at Harvard now who is curing schizophrenia with a carnivore diet.”
Reducing added sugar early in life can significantly lower the risk of chronic diseases in adulthood.
Less exposure to sugar in utero and during the first 2 years of life was associated with a 35% reduction in diabetes risk, a 20% reduction in hypertension risk, and a 30% reduction in obesity risk among children conceived or born around the 1950s sugar rationing in the United Kingdom. As adults, they also experienced the onset of diabetes and high blood pressure 2–4 years later.
Less sugar exposure in utero was beneficial on its own and explained about one-third of the protective effects on disease—reducing diabetes and hypertension risk by 8–15%.
But the effects were most pronounced when sugar restriction lasted until 6 months of age and beyond—the longer one was exposed to sugar restriction, the lower their disease risk.
- Less sugar exposure in utero and in the first year of life reduced disease risk by 15%–25%.
- Less sugar exposure in utero and in the first 2 years of life reduced disease risk by 19%–36%.
The idea that maternal and early-life nutrition can impact future health is known as the “fetal origins hypothesis.”
It’s why I spent many months researching and learning about the myriad factors that would influence my own child's development and why I continue to do so.
Early life is a sensitive time for development. Although this study has its limitations, it should make us more aware of how sugar intake in particular can affect the long-term health of our children.

Hey scout
Here I am
But I’d rather be with you
Bacardi for 2?
Normally the sun does shine
But not when you aren’t around
Frankly all I do is frown
That is .. until you come back in town:))
