Cutting Added Sugar Can Reverse Biological Aging, Study Finds

Research links lower sugar intake to younger cellular age, emphasizing the benefits of nutrient-rich diets.

Each gram of added sugar accelerates biological aging, even in otherwise healthy diets.
Eliminating 10 grams of sugar daily can reduce biological age by 2.4 months over time.
The study analyzed diets and biological ages of 342 midlife women from Northern California.
Mediterranean-style diets, rich in anti-inflammatory and antioxidant foods, showed the strongest association with younger cellular age.
High sugar intake is linked to worsened metabolic health and early onset of chronic diseases.
