Sugar restriction in the first 1000 days after conception, and long-term respiratory health: a quasi-experiment study
Restricting sugar intake during the first 1,000 d after conception was associated with reduced risk and delayed onset of asthma and COPD, and improved lung function in adulthood. These findings support the utility of current dietary guidelines to promote lifelong respiratory health.
