The hot talk of the week is a new paper in Science that shows early life exposure to sugar can seriously impact a child’s risk of developing diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity decades later.
What is old is now new again. My father a school Psycologist inthe 70s told me as a child about dangers of sugar. He had read Pure White and Deadly and worked with Drs Shachter and Schenkin the first Orthomolecular Psychiatrists, in Nyack NY. I thought when older he was a typical psychologist and not medically minded. I was wrong. They aggressively treated the new condition of ADD with sugar reatriction
It was a 70s thing. By the time I got to med school in the 80s it had disappeared, everyone believed the anti sugar people were crazy,unfortunately myself included
Keep up the great work Nic ⛓️⛓️👍

I'd never heard of "Orthomolecular Psychiatrists." Thanks for sharing.
